| Vikter Duplaix |
 Vikter Duplaix is not a man of mystery. He is the musical embodiment of a Movement. Through the instantly recognizable seduction in his voice to his signature production and with his distinctive DJ sets, he is the spokesman for a global alliance who aims to reclaim beautiful music for beautiful people worldwide. This beauty is not defined by over saturated images of pop-media culture. Rather, it is the amalgamation of global culture, independent thought and creative spirit shared by adventure hungry hedonists with lust for life.Vikter, a Philadelphia native, began his career early studying music and singing in touring choirs with legendary artists such as Teddy Pendergrass and Luciano Pavarotti. His DJ skills were honed with Philly legends Jazzy Jeff and King Britt 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 and executive Chauncey Childs. Uninhibited from the confines of major labels and in keeping with this vision, Vikter has formed a joint venture with BBE Records. The first release will be an ep, "Stimulation" in July '06, a prequel to Duplaix's full-length release "Bold and Beautiful" due September,19 2006. "Bold and Beautiful" will focus on purity. Raw and honest-it is a daring departure from sub-standards of today's pop music. Appearances and collaborative production work with the likes of James Poyser, Micheal Angelo, Esthero, Ty Tribbet & GA , Rapheal Saddiq, Karsh Kale, Gary Dourdan, Suphala, Omar Edwards, Junius Bervine and house music pioneer Louie Vega. Recently, he appeared as a vocalist alongside DJ Louie Vega where he is performing his joined effort with Masters at Work entitled "In the Real World," as well as other select songs. He first provided his signature swoon to MAW for the 1999 acclaimed "Messages" and has recently done the same for ethereal Drum and Bass pioneer Roni Size.
