UPDATE: David Victor will be joining the legendary BOSTON for their Summer 2012 North American tour!
San Francisco Bay Area native vocalist/guitarist David Victor first picked up a guitar at the age of 16 after seeing his sister’s boyfriend strum a few chords. David began performing at age 18 with several original hard rock bands in northern California and recorded and produced his first commercial release PROOF THROUGH THE NIGHT in 1991.
David put together his first original band VELOCITY in 1996 and recorded and produced Velocity’s debut album IMPACT in 1997 which included veteran drummer Pat Torpey (Mr. Big, Robert Plant, The Knack) on drums.
Velocity was a dynamic live act that would go on to play numerous shows throughout the western U.S. from 1996 until 2000. As a result of touring as well as U.S. and Canadian commercial rock radio airplay, Velocity’s IMPACT and the followup album ACTIVATOR went on to sell well in the U.S., with over 5000 sold in Utah alone where the album received regular airplay on one rebel rock station K-ROCK. IMPACT sold over 12,000 units worldwide with deals on Europe’s MTM Records and Japan’s AVEX records.
In 1999, David moved to Los Angeles to explore new live performance and other musical opportunities. LA acts included Boston tribute band Smokin’ and several corporate party bands. David has most recently been performing with the show he co-founded: BOSTYX: All the hits of BOSTON and STYX, and PLATINUM ROCKSTARS™ (a multi-artist classic rock show band).
