My daughter's quote...






























"Angels talking through your music....."

I hope you will enjoy listening......

Thank you for your time here....

Shortlisted in the BBC Sound 2022 and supported by tastemaker airplay from Radio 1, BBC Asian Network, 1Xtra and 6 Music, Priya Ragu is poised to achieve a major breakthrough.
 
The next step in her ascent comes with the blissful new single ‘Illuminous’, which elevates the joyous Raguwavy vibe that made her debut mixtape ‘damnshestamil’ so special. Priya’s Tamil heritage once again proudly takes centre-stage, most notably in her distinctive vocal cadence which weaves effortlessly through silky R&B and vibrant electro beats to create a unique sonic tapestry. The song is again the result of her creative collaboration with her brother and producer Japhna Gold.
  
‘Illuminous’ is a bold statement of intent as Priya prepares for a big year ahead. She will play her biggest headline show to date at London’s Scala on April 21st, while her burgeoning summer festival schedule includes The Great Escape, Primavera, and End of the Road.

Electric guitar covers to popular songs. I use the guitar strings as vocal cords, capturing the human voice with my fingers.

Dawn of the morning lightly caresses
The moon touch of our hearts reveals 
In the blackest of nights..
In the breathlessness of circumstances 
The embracing hearts slowly heals..

A semi-random collection of, for the time being, mostly tunes from days past. Scratch demos, songs from the vaults, etc... Click on the song titles if you'd like a more complete description of the time and place of each song. One of these days I'll get real and post some stuff that more accurately reflects where I'm at now. Until then... Thanks! I hope you find the way-back tour interesting.

Classically Trained in Guitar, Singer-Songwriter, Educator, Speaker, Published Writer. 

Victor fell in love with the guitar during his high school years.  His live solo performances attracted the attention of many.  Within a few years he was playing guitar and bass in bands at dance clubs in New York City.
 
A turn of events led him to study music at a conservatory in New England.  Besides the traditional course work in music theory and 20th Century composition, he studied classical  guitar and took piano and voice lessons. During this time he gained experience in choral work; he toured with the school choir and orchestra performing throughout the USA.

Over the years he has had the privilege of performing at notable places such as St. Bartholomew's, Willard Chapel (Auburn, NY), Battle Creek Tabernacle (MI), General Conference Chapel (MD), World Trade Center (Boston, MA), Women's Christian Temperance Union (Watertown, NY, Chapter), public parks, Protestant congregations and at an international interfaith convention in Washington, D.C.

In the 2000s Victor toured with the Pro Arts International Choir as a musical feature, performing with the Gypsy Rebels (profile picture) at Disneyworld (FL), Disneyland (CA), Museum of Latin American Art (CA), La Sierra University (CA), and Atlantic Union College (MA). He directed the first Classical Guitar Clinic for Pine Tree Academy for two years (ME).  He has also had the honor of having been invited for a private performance in honor of Jennifer Smith, the former Premier of Bermuda (1998-2003).

Later Victor toured New England with Bill Malia, a Christian recording artist, and performed at Soulfest 2007, the largest Christian music gathering in Gunstock Mountain, New Hampshire.  In the Midwest, he has performed in La Porte, Indiana  and two appearances at Andrews University Classical Seminary Series.  In Canada he has performed in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan. 

Until this day, his performances have been heard at live concerts or private settings.  Currently he is working on recording his first album featuring his original compositions.  It is scheduled to be out by the spring of 2019. In the meantime, enjoy his demo work on SoundCloud.
