Victor Haynes

Victor Haynes : soul singer and song writer was born in the ever pulsating heart of Manchester/England. His musical career has enabled him to work along side with some of music's finest musicians such as Curtis Mayfield, Jonathan Butler, Jean Carne, Peter White, Norman Connors, Crusaders, Edwin Star, Omar and the list goes on.Due to his extreme talent and experience in the music industry he has been able to travel extensively around the world bringing the essence of soul and love to everyone that he performs to.Whilst not only being a great performer Victor takes the crown for being a great recording artist , from releasing various singles that have been placed on Soul collaboration albums to having two solo albums with Expansion records.Victor has been working with his friend and musical side kick Peter May, both have written and produced the Album V.I.C-Voices In Control, which features some of Manchester's finest vocalists and musicians. But, their finest hour came when they released the album Optimistic. This outstanding debut album from Victor Haynes hit the airwaves, record shops and magazine stands. It was well recieved as summed up by Jacqueline Springer in her article published in the Blues & Soul magazine: Although the overall feel and focus of the album concerns itself with relationships-and specifically what effect love has upon the individuals within them-the outing isn't as simplistic as the description makes it sound.Its evocative of the mood that's always been the mainstay of traditionally approached soul-each word that's uttered is heard and each one sung is felt. That applies whether directed at the doo-wopp-ish style of 'Do You Regret', or the uptempo and religiously empowering 'Stand Up'. Victor succeeds in delivering 12 tracks that draw from identifiable personality but one that maintains an allegiance to his new label-Expansion. Victor's new album (Remebering The Good Times) is out now. Check out Itunes for all releases.
