| Releases: | [Son of the King] [Believe It Now] [The First of Many] | | Info: | Viktory's appeal to rap began at the age of 10 when his
father, Kirk Shackleford, (a former MC himself) wrote
Sherrod's first rap. Sherrod fell in love with rap. It was
how he expressed himself. He mainly held true to its
origins and wrote about positive things. He was mainly
influenced by underground rap. It wasn't until later that
Sherrod was exposed to mainstream rap.
Greatness
However, as his life began to change and become more
unstable, his writing reflected a more worldly side of his
life. He found himself involved in more negativity as the
years progressed. However, his mother, Lisa had instilled a
sense of greatness and drive in him and Sherrod persevered.
Before graduating high school, Sherrod had lived in
Illinois, Minnesota and California and had attended 12
different schools.
Learning
After his graduation, Sherrod's mother intervened with a
decision he calls "instrumental" in changing his life. He
enrolled at Alabama A & M University, majoring in Marketing.
College life did offer the experience and freedom of
independent learning and offered vast opportunities in
developing this budding entrepreneur. However, college life
does not oft demand excellence in morality and Sherrod found
himself immersed in a life void of God.
Beyond deception
One fateful day in 2000, his life changed when Jesus Christ
became very real to him. "I was able to clearly see the
deception in the world. I recognized things that I had once
seen as fun to be traps and pitfalls. I knew that following
God was the only thing that would ensure peace and strength"
he says. Though he continued to persevere in the endeavor to
becoming a disciple of Christ, life continued to go on. He
found that his desire to rap had not died. Sherrod was once
prophesied to and was told that he would continue in music,
but it would be unto the Lord.
Sweetheart
As the Lord continued to show favor in his life, Sherrod
blossomed. He married his sweetheart, in 2002 and witnessed
the birth of his first son in 2003. He began to fulfill his
entrepreneurial call and began his own small business and
became an ordained minister in 2003. Before the end of that
year, Viktory or Vik was born.
Bible study
The Lord continued to show favor in Sherrod's life. As he
led out in a Bible study, the group grew from 4 to over 80
regular attendees - one of the largest Bible study groups on
Alabama A & M's campus.
Word
Though he has been quite successful in his endeavors, he is
insistent that it was his mother's constant support and
love, intertwined with the Divine hand of God that helps him
pursue the unknown.The Lord is free to move and do the
miraculous, because Viktory is an avid student of the Word
and when the Lord uses Viktory as He sees fit the very
essence of John 8:31 comes to life. Then said Jesus to
those Jews which believed on him, "If ye continue in my
word, [then] are ye my disciples indeed;" John 8:31
Artists
Viktory has ministered and performed in various settings,
world wide and has shared the stage with the likes of Vicki
Winans, Marvin Winans, Jr., KJ-52, William Murphy and Smokie
Norful.
Deal
In early 2004, Viktory was presented a deal with EMI/BEC
records, but after much prayer, he turned down the offer to
follow the Lord's leading exclusively. This decision has
proved to be a great blessing.
Videos
Viktory shot two videos in Detroit, Michigan, from his 2006
album, entitled "Believe It Now".
Guest appearances will be made by Marvin Winans, Jr. in the
video "Hold Me Down" and Tonex will feature in the video
"C'mon Man".

Viktory released his first independent project in 2003,
called "First of Many", and it was the only album to ever
get a 5 star rating from www.hiphopgateway.com and was
acclaimed by www.gospelflava.com. He also appeared on
