Better Days

with

Mr.V
& Franky Boissy

Versatile and determined, Victor Font (a.k.a. Mr.V) is set to become a major force in the music industry. With a life-long interest in music, Mr.V emerges from New York City's club scene as a well-respected DJ and budding producer/remixer. Born in Manhattan's Lower East Side in 1974, the Nuyorican discovered a great love of music at a very young age. Victor was introduced to the club scene by his aunt, who was a bouncer at the now legendary nightclub The World. By the age of fourteen, Victor started DJ’ing with help from neighborhood friends. After graduating from High School, Victor was so consumed with DJ’ing, he spent most of his nights practicing or visiting the clubs, listening and watching from other DJs.

Determined to have his own audience, Victor spun at as many house parties as he could. He finally got his first official club gig as Mr. V at Timmy Richardson’s 2i’s party in New York City.

Widely influenced and open-minded, Victor sites House, Hip-Hop, Latin, Garage & Disco Classics, Rhythm & Blues, and Jazz as his main musical influences. Victor has displayed his turntable talents at many popular nightclubs and parties in New York and across the globe, including: Bang The Party (NYC), Cielo Club(NYC), Underground Collective (NYC), Centro Fly (NYC), Southport Weekender (London, UK), Club Andalu in Washington D.C., Audio Deluxe (Edinburgh, Scotland), Club Core (Tokyo, Japan), Sonic Arch (Santo Domingo), Club Shelter (NYC), Roots (Cielo Club), Layers (Toronto, Canada), Louie Vega’s Dance Ritual (NYC), Sullivan Room (NYC), Layers at Bauhaus Nightclub (Toronto, Canada), GateCrasher The Summer Sound System (UK), SoulEyes (Tokyo), and Devotion- The End Up (SanFrancisco), to name a few.

Gaining many contacts through the years, Victor eventually landed a position at the Masters At Work record label (MAW Records), as an assistant to "Little Louie" Vega & “Ralphie Boy” Muniz. The position would bring him around world and give him a first-hand glimpse at the booming global dance scene. Adding to his repertoire, Victor has recently evolved into music production. His debut remix with Alix Alvarez, ‘The Anthem' was released on Underground Collective Recordings in 2002. With much success, Victor has many more projects in store.

Victor remains an integral part of the music and club scene with years of experience as a gifted DJ and aspiring producer with new ideas and a fresh sound. Dancing to the beat of his own drum, Mr. V is becoming a force in the dance music industry and blazing a trail for other DJs to follow in the future.
