Although born in New York, Víctor was raised primarily in Añasco and Isabela, Puerto Rico. Growing up in Puerto Rico had a great impact on his youth as he enjoyed salsa music (which was immensely popular in Puerto Rico at the time). His singing career began by chance, during a concert at his high school's graduation party by salsa superstar Gilberto Santa Rosa. At the instigation of classmates, who were going on about their friend the sonero, Santa Rosa invited Víctor to jump up on stage and sing a song with him. To Santa Rosa's surprise, not only could Victor sing, but he "free-styled" the improvisational soneo lyrics in the song, and traded soneos with Santa Rosa. Shortly thereafter, on Santa Rosa's recommendation, Puerto Rican bandleader Don Periñon hired teenage Victor as a backup singer. During these years of apprenticeship he performed with numerous salsa greats.
Thanks again to Santa Rosa, Manuelle was eventually signed as a solo artist to Sony Tropical. His debut album, Justo A Tiempo ("Just in Time"), which Santa Rosa produced, was released in 1993.

Las ideas mas descabelladas,
Por ejemplo,
Por ejemplo
Quisiera ser el duende que se cuela
Por tu pecho why a tus sentimientos,
Encamina de manera irremediable
Por ejemplo
Se me ocurre que hay un mago fabuloso
Que inventa un nuevo universo
Por ejemplo
Donde tu eres luna, donde soy tu sol
Donde puedo acariciarte cada noche,
Why en la luz de un gran amor volver a amarte
Por ejemplo
Me imagino que en tus brazos
Yo desnudo tus mas íntimos secretos,
Por ejemplo, te lo juro, no me importa, por ejemplo
No me importa si me queman tus besos,
No me importa si me quema tu amor
Siento calor con los ojos abiertos,
Rendido a tu cuerpo reviento de amor.(Bis)
why no me importa si me queman tus besos,
No me importa si hay veneno en tu amor,
Si he de morir con los ojos abiertos,
Rendido a tu cuerpo me muero de amor.

The lyrics of Victor Manuelle's song "Por Ejemplo" are a beautiful and romantic expression of the intense feelings of love the singer has for his partner. The opening lines reveal how being with the person he loves fills his mind with unconventional ideas and creativity. He then goes on to express his desire to be the magical figure that can bring them closer and ensure their love takes an irrevocable course.
The second part of the song is even more intense as the singer reveals just how far he is willing to go for love. He speaks of "burning kisses" and "poisonous love" as elements he is still willing to endure because he feels so much warmth and passion in his lover's embrace. The phrase "Lleno de amor con los ojos abiertos rendido a tu cuerpo" is repeated several times, and it captures the singer's complete surrender to the intensity of his emotions.
Overall, the song is a beautiful ode to romantic love, suggesting that even in moments of irrationality and recklessness, there is something beautiful and magical to be found in a true connection with someone.
