Bio:

Grammy Nominated Singer/Producer/DJ/lifestyle event curator Vikter Duplaix is a musical alchemist weaving global culture, independent thought, fine arts and progressive music into a purely golden lifestyle.

A Philadelphia native, his career began early, studying music and singing in touring choirs with legendary artists such as Teddy Pendergrass and Luciano Pavarotti and was mentored in the fine art of business by none other than Philadelphia International's own Kenny Gamble. Vikter is a founding member of Philly's Axis Music Group, a music production house shared with Grammy award winner James Poyser. As a producer, he has worked with the likes of Erykah Badu, Earth, Wind and Fire, Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, Common, Eric Benet, Bilal, Jamiroquai, Me'Shell Ndegéocello, Jazzanova, King Britt, Louie Vega, and Toronto's own Esthero to name a few.

Vikter's introduction to the "worldwide" music scene as a recording artist came with his first full-length album, "International Affairs", released in 2002. Subsequently, he released his "Singles: Prelude to the Future" compilation album followed by his second full-length release, "Bold and Beautiful" in 2006, which garnered him his Grammy Award Nomination for the single, 'Make A Baby.' However, House Music lovers would argue that his best work has come in the 120bpm range, with a laundry list of certified Deep & Soulful dancefloor anthems to his credit ("Messages," "That Night," "Paper Chase," and "From Another World" to name only a fraction)...

In addition to his talents as a singer/producer, Vikter also starred in Viacom's (BET / Vh1) reality television DJ competition series, "Master of the Mix" and also curates his own events, overseeing three nation-wide event brands; "Kiss-n-Grind", "Textures" & "Suite Seduction". These events have become infamous for their atypical locations, beautiful art installations and raucous dance-floor environments. Over the years, Duplaix's events have hosted such luminaries as Prince, Questlove of the Roots, DJ Kid Capri, Biz Markie, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Idris Ilba, Sanaa Lathan, Raphael Saadiq, Craig Robinson, Rashida Jones, Samantha Ronson, Garth Trinidad, DJ Rashida and many others. He now makes his long awaited return to Toronto, joining forces with the Sweet Tears crew to deliver what is sure to be a truly unforgettable night!
