Born in 1992 and raised in Sweden, Victor started playing the guitar and writing songs at a young age.

However, only at the age of 18, he moved to Los Angeles to accomplish his goals as a songwriter. There at Capitol Records, he worked with Diane Warren, Desmond Child and Eric Brazilian, and released a song called “Jimmy Dean” under the name Vic Heart. His debut single “Burning Man” was released in 2015.
2019 wasn’t the first year when he competed for the right to represent a country at Eurovision: he also participated in Sweden’s Melodifestivalen in 2015, featuring in Behrang Miri‘s song “Det rår vi inte för”, with less luck than this year.
