Vic began taking drum lessons in New Jersey after constant appealing to his parents. His first teacher was John Ricci, a prominent session player from Philadelphia. He turned Vic onto Jazz, jazz fusion, funk and latin grooves. After a year, he formed his first group "The Jersey Devils". After two years, the Devils broke up and Vic joined Dale Bluebond(later of the famous guitar luthier company Bluebond Guitars)and formed a trio which experimented with fusion jazz. A year later, Vic met up with now long time friend Reggie Wu and started the band Equinox. Equinox revolved singers and bassists but the nucleus of Vic and Reggie stayed intact all through high school. Equinox's music was mostly covers until the final two years when the band took a serious turn into songwriting. During the latter part of the Equinox era, Vic was studying orchestral percussion to prepare for his college auditions.
Vic enrolled at Glassboro State College(now Rowan University) where he earned his B.A. in Percussion Performance. He studied with renown solo percussionist Dean Witten. At Glassboro, Vic immersed himself into any playing situation he could find. He played with the orchestra, wind ensemble, chamber orchestra, concert chior, marching band, persussion ensemble, avant garde troupe, jazz big band, student and teacher recitals and was called on to play in the orchestra pit for theater and drama plays. Vic was on hand playing world premieres of works in most of these ensembles. Vic performed two solo recitals and was the first in Glassboro history to include rock music, namely Black Sabbath/Rat Salad, Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow/Gates of Babylon and U.K./Danger Money. While at Glassboro, he taught students at night and on weekends played with folk rock group Dartmore. He also coached high school drumlines mostly at Williamstown High School in New Jersey.
After college, Vic studied with casino pit player Billy Jones, while still teaching over 50 students in two music stores himself. He joined a wedding band to make ends meet before founding the fusion metal band Majik. Majik played to great reviews but unfortunately lasted only seven months. Majik's four song tape sold over two hundred copies within the first week of issue and over four hundred total. In Majik, Vic wrote the band's Irish rock intro "Gargantra" and thier signature song "Villian".
After Majik, Vic went from band to band until forming the pop metal band Impact. Impact was a premier band in the New Jersey curcuit. Highlights of their gigs was thier first(a benefit for Students Against Drunk Driving) in front of 1500 people and a first place finish in the Battle of the Bands sponsored by local radio station THE BOSS 97. In Impact, Vic had a heavy hand in penning songs. He wrote the song "Close to Me" and wrote/arranged the music for "Wrong Side of the Law", "Calling on You" "Cry for Love" "Hard Cold World" and "Time to Move On".
Vic's playing was being talked about around the area....and he recieved a call from a band in Philadelphia called Holy Crow. He also recieved a call from a funk/rock band Common Ground. Both bands played heavy schedules in the Philadelphia region. He played with both bands until he went to a blues jam and went back to his blues roots. He joined the band The Boogeymen for three years and then played for the Elmo's Fire Chicago Blues Band. Vic took over the booking chores for Elmo's Fire and the band started playing three to four times a week, which made them the busiest blues band in the Philadelphia/New Jersey area for three years. The band changed singers and became the Broad Street Boogie Band, still keeping the same hustling pace for another four years. Elmo's Fire backed jazz singer Michelle Kiner on her CD "Clear Days" on the track "You Don't Know What Love Is". BSBB released their own CD "Death Guitars at the Ninja Roadhouse". "Death Guitars" was an internet hit, being played on several online shows and was played on radio staions in Europe and South America. It was also featured on WSTW's "Hometown Heroes" show. Both blues bands were staples at South Street Blues, the Bucks County Blues Society and local festivals.
Vic later played with the Sister Blue Band where he played drums and also booked the band. Also, he booked the Mark Furman Band, Gypsy Joe and Three Eyed Jacks. In the band Three Eyed Jacks was one of Vic's former students.
Vic is presently living in Columbia, South Carolina to further persue new musical ventures.
