Victor is a Manchester based singer and songwriter who has become one of the most established and sought after performers today.

He became a professional singer at the age of 17 when his father gave him his first job as a guitarist and backing vocalist in the famous Manchester Ritz nightclub, His father, Vic Lezal, was the band leader there for 37 years and has been a massive influence on Victors' career and still is today.

Although he started singing pop and rock music Victor always has a personal love for Classical, Musical theatre and Swing and began to create a solo show with a mixture of these styles.

This soon began to get recognition from agents across the U.K which led Victor to take his show on the road. After 3 years of gaining as much experience as he could he was asked to be part of a showcase in Birmingham, it was here that Carnival cruises offered him his first contract on a cruise. This was a great success and has currently led to 12 years of performing on most of the main Cruise companies and ships around the world including Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, SilverSea, P&O, Oceania, Princess and Seabourn.
He always wanted to see the world and he was lucky enough to do this through his singing.

Victors' recording career has also been very busy, at the age of 22 he had become the lead singer of his father's band and this coincided with the Manchester Commonwealth Games. The band were approached by BBC producer's and asked if they would perform every night on BBC2 for the show 'Running Late'. This was great profiling, but Victor and his Father also wrote the theme tune 'Running Late.' This was his first success as a writer.

Shortly after the show had finished he was then asked to work with 'Gordon Lorenz' who was a famous producer and was the driving force behind artistes like 'Charlotte Church. Through this he met 'Roberto Danova' who had written a version of 'The Phantom of the Opera' that had been adapted to be performed on Ice. Victor recorded the part of the Phantom and it was a great success all around Europe. He then began writing and working on an album with producer 'Tim Duncan'. The album 'Fight of my Life' was completed in 2016. He also had the pleasure of working with world renowned producer Peter Collins and Sir Paul McCartneys' musical director Wiks Wiggins.
