Vikter Duplaix, is a singer-songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist,
and DJ. Duplaix has traditional soul singer’s beginnings – being
raised in both Philadelphia and Augusta, Georgia singing in church
choirs, and later took work programming drum tracks while working
at a Philadelphia studio.
He has released several solo records as well as appearing on the
releases of Erykah Badu, Jazzanova, King Britt´s Sylk 130,
Jamiroquai, Me'Shell Ndegeocello, Incognito, Esthero, Cherokee, Jaguar
Wright, Eric Benet and Dynamite MC, often with fellow studio rat
James Poyser. Associations with DJ Jazzy Jeff and Kenny Gamble proved
to be instrumental to his growth and stature. His relationship with
King Britt led to immersion in dance music. He contributed vocals
to Britt's Scuba project 'Swell', and before long, Duplaix was producing
his own material. Remixes and collaborations with the likes of Jazzanova
and an installment in !K7's DJ Kicks series all led up to International
Affairs, Duplaix's full-length debut as a solo artist. The album
was released in Europe in late 2002; it came out in the United States
early the following year on Hollywood Records.
His second album release, Bold and Beautiful, followed in 2006 on
bbe records. "Make A Baby", a single from "Bold and
Beautiful", was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Awards in the Grammy
Award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance.
On August 31, 2009 Vikter released a new single, "Electric
Love". The single is available as a free download from his website.
