Born in Bogota, Colombia and raised in Queens, New York. Victor Escobar grew up with many different styles of music: ranging from salsa, live percussion, house, soul and R&B. At the early age of 14 yrs old he started to gain interest in Electronic Music and began following local artists like Danny Tenaglia, Peter Rauhofer, and Victor Calderone. At the same time Victor began listening to labels such as Twisted America,Defected Records, Strictly Rhythm and many more.

In the year 1999 he started to get gigs in small house parties in Queens and Brooklyn. In the year 2000 he moved to Orlando, Florida where he built a good relationship with locals DJs Carlos Mendoza, Elias R and Sander Mendez. Not long after Victor started to play at local venues like Alpha Bar, Zinc Bar, Lux and Suite B Lounge. Nearly 3 years later he started to get interested in music production and purchased his first DAW software -Reason 1.0. From the year 2003 to 2007 he dedicated alot of time to learning the theory behind electronic music and all the things that come along with producing it.

In the year 2009 he collaborated with Elias R ( a well known Colombian House Producer) and produced a single called “Amanecer “ which was released by Le Club Records in Italy (a label owned and managed by Veerus and Maxie) Devine) Amanecer was also later released on various compilations like Le Club Records Miami and Le Club Records Classics. Amanecer would be described as a progressive house track that combined both ethnic vocal elements and tribal percussion, deep breakdowns and powerful build ups. Amanecer, “had a great response” from artists such as Tiesto (Played on the Tiesto Club Life episode 149 Part 2), Dave Seaman, Timo Mass Popof, Erick Morillio Kyau & Albert,Judge Jules and many more.
