In a recent interview, Vic shared his musical journey and shed light on the inspiration behind his newfound passion as a health advocate.

These early experiences instilled in Vic the value of communication and laid the foundation for his unwavering passion for music.
During his teen years, Vic explored various genres and artists, traveling with the doo-wop group “The Flamingos” and immersing himself in the rich tapestry of music. From the infectious rhythms of rock ‘n’ roll to the soulful sounds of R&B, dance, and gospel, Vic effortlessly blended genres to create his unique musical style.
Drawing inspiration from musical icons such as Al Green, The Doobie Brothers, James Brown,
Miriam Makeba, Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner, Chaka Khan, and all of Motown and Stax recording artists like Otis Redding and Sam & Dave, Vic uses his powerful voice to convey heartfelt messages and touch the souls of his listeners. His ability to remember and feel the music without the need to read sheet music enables him to unleash his creativity and play with unrestricted passion.

He will continue to inspire and uplift all those who encounter his music and his spiritual message.
Vic’s advocacy for health and well-being
Beyond the stage, Vic’s advocacy for health and well-being has become an integral part of his life. He explains that his friend Dave Johnson, whom he has known for 25 years, introduced him to the Avini company, a provider of health products. Dave had a health issue with his prostate and was recommended surgery by the doctors, but he decided to try Avini’s product called Cell Defender. After taking it for three months, his prostate issues cleared up, which caught Vic’s attention. Vic’s interest in health stems from his mother’s experience with treatments that ultimately caused her death. This motivated him to focus on maintaining good health and sharing his knowledge with others.
He stresses the importance of taking care of one’s body and dispels common misconceptions regarding sleep deprivation and the essentiality of water. Vic firmly believes that hydration is not a choice but a fundamental requirement for the body’s optimal functioning.
When addressing skepticism and challenges, Vic attentively listens to people’s concerns and effectively communicates the importance of maintaining a healthy body. He emphasizes that Cell Defender does not interfere with medications, as it is a natural cleansing agent derived from zeolite rather than a pharmaceutical drug. Vic compares the body’s cleansing process to changing filters in a car or home, highlighting Avini’s Cell Defender’s unique composition, which utilizes activated zeolite to eliminate toxins, heavy metals, and volatile organic compounds.
Collaboration with doctors forms a crucial aspect of Avini’s approach, as they actively engage with both patients and medical professionals. Vic notes that doctors are increasingly receptive to the positive results achieved by patients using Avini’s products, demonstrating a growing interest in understanding their benefits. Scientific research, clinical trials, and a scientific advisory board provide further credibility to Avini’s product line. “It’s simple hygiene - It’s like taking a shower on the inside,” remarked Vic.
Vic also highlights the need to address toxic obesity and chronic pain, which Avini has methods to address. Toxic obesity refers to the transfer of obesity from one generation to the next, and Avini has solutions to help combat this issue. Furthermore, the company offers approaches to manage chronic pain.
To find out more about the Avini’s health products, Vic urges readers to visit the company’s comprehensive website, avinihealth.com/vicricket.
