Mr. V (US)
Artist
Experiencing Mr. V’s DJ sets original productions or remixes is like taking a trip back in time to Dance Music golden age.
Before superstar DJs took over the spotlight, Dance Music was a cultural phenomenon that did what no other form of music could do, Bring people together.
It didn't matter what race or sexual orientation you came from because dance music was all about embracing our differences and creating a homogenous vibe.
The music was built heavily on tradition of song structures and lots of heart and soul.
DJs played whatever it took to get the party going and the music was never predictable.
It is with this classic spirit and enthusiasm that New York City's own Mr. V targets today's Dance Music world.
Growing up in the 1980s the open minded Mr. V was heavily influenced by House Music, Hip-Hop, Latin Music, Garage/Disco Classics, R&B, Jazz & Soul.
Mr. V was enamored by the role a DJ commanded over a crowd and was taken by the talents of his friend of his neighborhood named Lord G who had a weekly Thursday night party in New York City’s Sound Factory Bar in the mid 90’s.
Despite wanting to be a professional DJ it wasn't until he met the legendary Louie Vega that he found his calling, “Louie used to have his party called Underground Network and that's where I discovered a deeper taste for House Music" says Mr. V.
Louie Vega saw the drive and potential in Mr. V and hired the young nuyorican Dj/Producer has his assistant at the world famous Masters At Work record label.
In this position Mr. V was given a rare glimpse into the global Dance Music scene and before long was taking to the DJ decks alongside his mentor.
Stylistically Mr. V has a widely eclectic sound that brings Spontaneity back to the art of DJing.
In addition to his busy schedule Mr. V has displayed his DJ talent at many popular nightclubs across the globe, He also has made a name for himself as a producer on his own imprint labels Sole Channel Music and Muzik 4 Tomorrow as a way to release music with complete control and artistic freedom.

Mr. V has released original productions vocal collaborations and remixes for music labels including Ultra Records, Defected Records, Musical Freedom, Repopulate Mars, Vega
Records, Dopewax Records, Play It Down, Strictly Rhythm and many, many more.
Combining his multifaceted skills as a DJ, Producer, Remixer, Vocalist & Songwriter with an ear towards today's dance music and implementing yesterday’s Dance Music roots, Mr. V is a name that will be etched in Dance Music history for generations to come.
