Looks like prayers and hard work paid off, seeing as the 2020 breakthrough hit feature with Mayorkun brought Vic officially into the limelight, with his unique and fresh sound stealing the hearts of Nigerians in no time. The song Holy Father churned in at number 2 on the Turntable Top 50 charts teleporting him into the Nigerian celebrity scene. 

“I’m not a rapper or a singer, I just say I’m an artist cuz I make music based on how I feel”. Victony loves to dance and at times he wants everyone to dance with him so they can groove together. His mood greatly influences the turnout of his tracks as he played with various genres such as; soft rock, dancehall, rap and R&B. He sees making music as the translation of whatever emotion you are feeling. Championing the outlaw movement and going on to collaborate with multiple artists such as Davido, Wande Coal, BurnaBoy, DJ Neptune and was well on his way to stardom until tragedy struck in April of 2021. 

Victony’s career met an unexpected demise when he was returning from an outing with friends and got in a ghastly auto accident. The accident rendered him hospitalized and in a wheelchair for several months. 

For many, it could have been the end of their careers. But Victony later tells us that although his life had changed, he had every intention of building back up

When not in the Spotlight, who is Vic?

I never really had any hobbies outside of music. Traveling has become one of his favourite activities since it gave him access to studios in different cities. Experiencing new people, food, culture and music has made him better at creating. He keeps it simple with his activities and likes to Sip on tequila. Claiming his simple guy demeanour, he bashfully mentioned that he doesn’t like complicated things, which is why his favourite flavour of ice cream is Vanilla and he always sleeps with the lights turned off. In the behind the scenes footage, he took us on a tour of his tattoos and said he had plans of getting some more ink later in the year.

How does it feel to be back?

“I’ve been creating and I’ve got madness coming for you guys” he says as he reveals some exclusive information in this interview.
