Victor Spiegel
Victor Spiegel creates a sound built of innovative harmonies and rhythms. His lyricism grows from both familiar and exotic soils, influenced by music from around the world, including India, Japan, Indonesia, Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Victor captures culture through a jazz lens, creating an improvisational journey of music, with bright moments of discovery where sound is seen as "light" and "colour".
He started his piano concert career at the age of 6, performing classical repertoire up to the age of 15. Turning away from what looked like a promising concert career, he decided to focus on composing and performing his own material. His received a BA from the University of California in Performance Integration of World Myths and Music. His MA in Music Composition from Mills College solidified his academic and professional involvement in scoring for diverse media.
