Victor is a native of Los Angeles, California. He began his musical career playing piano at age three. In his formative years of experimental study, he was honored with remarkable encouragement.

His openness and awareness to all kinds of music, combined with Gospel, heavy Funk, jazz, rhythm and blues, and classical influence, laid the foundation for the well rounded, extremely gifted musician and singer he is today.
In 1974 Victor was the main keyboardist for the group Rose Royce on Whitfield Records. To further his study of playing, recording and producing, Victor became a studio musician for MCA - Motown and Whitfield Records.
