A RESPECTED NAME IN UK SOUL:

Victor Haynes is one of the most respected names in UK soul music. A smooth and sophisticated vocal style that merges soul and jazz classics with original compositions. Timeless … or modern. Slow, easy listening backgrounds of laid-back soul … or faster, up-tempo dance sets. Victor Haynes’ versatile body of work made him a ‘one-call’ when artists like Edwin Starr, The Drifters, Curtis Mayfield, The Temptations, The Real Thing and The Crusaders needed the perfect support act for their UK shows. His international reputation for urbane style has built over three decades of performing at premier concert venues like Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall, clubs, hotels, restaurants, corporate events, private parties and residencies. His versatile professionalism switches comfortably from solo gigs to singing with sax player Dean Houston. Since then Victor has polished his relaxed interpretation of classic American jazz, swing and sweet soul music from Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Nat King Cole and Duke Ellington through to Luther Vandross and George Benson. Victor’s albums have climbed the UK soul charts and his work, at home and abroad, has included appearances in New York, France and Italy. He’s rubbed shoulders with the Rothschild family, the Duchess of York, Nigella Lawson, Dannii Minogue, Mel B and sporting legends from Mike Tyson and Wayne Rooney to Chris Eubank and Frank Bruno. Back in the day – when a professional singing career first tempted him away from his own business designing and making jewellery – he moved to London and worked with major league soul stars like Jaki Graham, David Grant, Heatwave’s Derek Bramble and Rod Temperton. But, back in Manchester, it was his songwriting and recording partnership with keyboard player Pete May that began to attract attention, radio airplay, a recording deal and a series of acclaimed albums. Victor Haynes is as comfortable on stage in the spotlight as he is in the background. Usually solo. Sometimes with Dean Houston. A man for all reasons.
Victor Haynes has created a reputation as one of the UK’s most reliably versatile soul and jazz singers. A popular blend of standards and original compositions for concert venues, private parties, restaurants, hotels, clubs and corporate events – whether on stage, in the spotlight, or in the background – entertaining audiences with upbeat dance sets or performing laid-back classics for background ambience. International appearances have stretched from Europe to New York, he has supported “A” list stars for their UK shows and his five well reviewed albums have climbed the soul sales charts. Victor is available as a soloist … or with northwest sax legend Dean Houston … And his bespoke selections of soul, jazz and American swing numbers can include touches of blues and reggae too. As up-tempo or relaxed as you need him to be.

THE NEW ALBUM : MY TIME IS HERE:

MY TIME IS HERE : REVIEW

My Time Is Here, Get Back feat. Dawn Zee Serious, Run Away, So Real, Feel, Sleep Over, No One Better, Stay With Me, Love Will Conquer All, Together, Give Me The Reason, Groovin’, Summer Of Love, Victor Haynes is an accomplished UK singer and songwriter who has enjoyed immense popularity over many years both locally and internationally. Victor’s musical talent is not only versatile and timeless but also boundless; as well as being a smooth soul singer, he is an accomplished singer in the field of jazz and swing. His brand new album “My Time Is Here” is in the main a feel good experience focusing on upbeat and mid tempo songs. While in Victor’s trademark retro style it also embraces contemporary music elements and slower jams too, all with feel good vibes. “My Times Is Here” takes you on a music journey, features Miss Dawn Zee (co-vocalist on “Get Back”) and guest sax licks from Victor’s long standing side man Dean Houston. Slow fast jazzy soulful it’s all there, it’s not just an album to sit on your coffee table and blend in to the furniture, it takes you on a ride that’s up lifting and enjoyable and hopefully it will puts some soul back into your step.

FROM MY HEART

VICTOR HAYNES - FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART - CD - EXPANSION - NEW - £13.99 The UK’s own Victor Haynes album ‘From The Bottom Of My Heart’ finally makes it to CD.‘Can’t Stop’ , ‘Fallin’, ‘From The Bottom Of My Heart’ , ‘If You Want Me’ and ‘Steppin Out’ are strong Modern Soul dancers. There’s a nice cover of ‘I’m Out Of Your Life’ and the slower ‘I’ve Got To Know’ and ‘Give You My Love’ are also good, the killer track though is the beautiful Luther influenced mid tempo floater ‘How Am I’ . Nice album.

I have recommended and booked Victor Haynes on a regular basis for several years for all my corporate, conference and leisure customers. I have always been amazed at the quality of his vocals and the way he can adapt his performance exactly to the clients’ needs.
