DAVID VICTOR is a veteran Los Angeles-area musician with extensive recording, producing and performance experience.
David''s most successful project to date was his band VELOCITY''s debut CD "IMPACT" which he produced from January to October, 1997. The album was released in 1998 Europe through MTM MUSIC and in Japan on AVEX/BAREKNUCKLE and in the U.S. through ROCKHARD MUSIC MEDIA.
"IMPACT" received universally-phenomenal reviews and sold over 12,000 copies worldwide, including over 2000 copies in Utah alone where "IMPACT" received significant airplay in 1998. The album spawned three #1 singles on local rock radio: "YOU DON''T AMAZE ME ANYMORE", "JANINE" and "LOVE IS DANGEROUS". Word about VELOCITY began to spread, and rock radio stations in Ohio, Indiana, New Hampshire, Mississippi (among many other states) started playing the lead single "YOU DON''T AMAZE ME ANYMORE" as well.
Rock radio began to change in 1999 with corporate consolidation, and unfortunately the inroads the band had made in the states were for naught as stations playlists were neutered.
As of 2003, tracks off "IMPACT" were still receiving airplay albiet in the Japanese market, including "SHE''S BEEN AROUND" and "ONE MINUTE TO MIDNIGHT".
VELOCITY was also a powerful live act, and took to the road with a vengeance in 1998 and 1999, playing anywhere and everywhere they could including Mississippi, Utah, Arizona, Washington, Nevada and California.
David Victor''s work with VELOCITY were preceeded by stints with ST. LAURENT, VICTOR, DICK BRIGHT''S SRO, SECRETS and ALLEY OPERA with vocalist LANA LANE. David also did studio work with LANA LANE on her album "SECRETS OF ASTROLOGY" released in April of 2000.
VELOCITY as a live act is no more, though David Victor is working on a full-length followup album that will continue in the same vein.
(NOTE: A 5-song EP entitled "ACTIVATOR" was released in 2001 which is no longer available due to the ineptitude of the distributor!)
