Victor Sho was born in Lagos, Nigeria and was raised in the Bronx since the age of two.  Victor was raised in the birth place of Hip-Hop, the Bronx, and still resides there today.  He started training as a dancer with a Hip-hop Dance crew called 730.  It started as something done all for fun but grew in to a life career.  Hip-Hop dancing opened doors of opportunities for me in many other areas of entertainment and Fashion.  After graduating Lehman College with a degree in Pre-Medical Biology, his original aspirations of becoming an orthopedic doctor were altered when he decided to take his choreographing, dancing, acting and modeling talents to a professional level.
As a choreographer, Victor's work with The P.L.A.Y.E.R.S. Step Dance Company has been featured on Americas Got Talent, NACA step tour, and 106 & Park.  He has also  worked on industrials for L'Oreal Matrix, AT&T, US Bank, and Tracee Ellis Ross' Fashion Forward Event. In addition Victor has choreographed for commercials and videos for the GMHC (w/ Bank of America), Chrisette Michelle, Bella (of Fire and Reason), and Nynewest to name a few.
Victor's talents as a dancer has led him to perform in commercials and industrials for Old Navy, Bloomingdales, Crest, Oral B, Samsung, Jamba Juice, Target, Moncler, Tommy Hilfiger, and Hermes. He has worked on Madonna's "Give Me All Your Love" video featuring Nikki Minaj and MIA.  His tours include Crystal Water's world tour and Alicia Keys, Keys in A Minor tour. He has worked on Comedy Central as a principal dancer in skits with Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, and Jon Stewart. Victor has been featured on SNL several times as a principle dancer. His most memorable roles were in the series with Jason Segel and the Black Swan Showcase with Jim Carrey doing skits with Keenan Thomas.
As an actor Victor has been featured in commercials for Lens Crafters, Amazon Kindle, and VH1's "All about Pep" (promo commercial for Peppa). He has worked on a commercial with Academy Award winning director Martin Scorsese for Chanel. He can also be seen in Lonely Island and Michael Bolton's Jack Sparrow music video. He has been featured in movies and series such as "Across the Universe", "Law and Order", and short films for Rhapsody James' "Siren Assassins". His stage credits include "Talent 101", "Of Kings and Concubines Sink or Swim", "The Saga of Shore Break Rentals", and "The Congo Redemption".
Victor is not a stranger to the world of modeling. He has done print and runway for Prada, Diesel, Bogosse, Roca Wear, Phat Farm, Akademiks, LRG, and promos for The Tyra Banks Show. Yahoo has featured him in a fashion blog for a photo shoot done with World Renowned Photographer Ted Seberese. Victor has shot for several magazines, which include but are not limited to Giant, Men's Health, and FAB Magazine.
Victor has recently worked dancing for Rhianna in her Robin Hood Charity Concert, choreographing for Cole Haan, David Blaine, and “Too Late”, a NYU Short Film.  However, above all recent achievements, he has taken all of his talents and skills as a visionary choreographer to the field of directing. This can be seen in the music videos for the single "I'm Cocky" by recording artist G. Finale and for the single “Dance Floor” for Amen Ra (A.K.A. Bam Bam). Victor uses his faith in God as a driving force in his life and career inspiring his motto "I ride on optimism."
