Biography

Brooklyn-based singer, songwriter, and performing artist Daniel Victor (born Daniel Victor Batista) is emerging in the music scene with a unique, genre-bending style. Fusing his pop-star energy with HipHop wordsmithing and some occasional latin flair, his output playfully swings between vibey, charming ballads and bass-heavy, energetic verses, often blurring the distinction between the two in a sophisticated way. Victor fell in love with poetry and music at a young age and drew inspiration from a variety of artists including Slaughterhouse, Justin Timberlake, and Eminem. As his music matured, he gravitated towards artists like Luke Christopher, Jon Bellion and J. Cole, whose vivid, personal storytelling and clever lyricism initially captured his interest . Victor’s own marriage of HipHop and Pop music (that he affectionately refers to as “HipPop”) is a direct result of his eclectic and wide-spanning musical palate. All of Daniel Victor’s records are, to his listeners’ surprise, devoid of many of the major characterizations in conventional Hip-Hop. His entire discography is free from profanity and explicit content, all without sacrificing the contagious energy and relatable topics steeped in personal experience. With a smile on his face, Daniel plans on delivering new releases, taking his music on tour, and proving to everyone that it’s possible to never grow up.
