DHL Fast-Track featuring Victor Ray

Victor Ray, known for his powerful, crowd stopping street performances joins DHL FAST-TRACK for 2025. His undeniable, world class voice has had many viral moments, gathering a huge international community of fans. We are proud to be a part of Victor's journey from performing on the streets of London to the global stage; starting with his US tour, and his show on the 19^th of May at Elsewhere, Brooklyn.

Born in Uganda, raised in Newcastle, UK and now living in London, Victor has spent his formative years performing on the streets, where he often witnessed the heartbreaking reality of homelessness and food insecurity. On the last date of his US tour, we came together to help raise funds for the Food Bank For NYC – a charity under the umbrella of Feeding America, an existing DHL partner, by collaborating on a limited merchandise line. Fans from all over the US came down to Elsewhere to experience Victor’s incredible voice and to pick up some of the exclusive merch. Together, through combined merchandise sales and a DHL donation we raised enough money to feed 116,000 New Yorkers living with food insecurity.

On the 20th May, Victor and seven DHL volunteers went down to Food Bank for NYC’s West Harlem distribution centre to help with the Senior’s Lunch Service, and Pantry Service. Victor sat down with Chef Sheri, head of the Community Kitchen and Pantry to hear her story and to learn about those she supports every day.
