But deep on the tail end of Brooklyn, under the bridge, there’s still pockets of unique music heads preserving not only the physical records but the stories of artists long since past. Victorious De Costa, as a record shop owner and filmmaker, is that person.
Born and raised in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, De Costa co-founded the ’70s-themed vinyl boutique, LEGACY, in the neighborhood Dumbo just last year. De Costa was making films when he gravitated toward the opportunity to open a record store with his friends and business partners. He said he had an extensive record collection as a former DJ. The record shop functions as a lounge with live performances and game nights as well as selling music.
“For me it really was about making money, at that point I didn’t know how I was going to make money for the rest of my life,” said De Costa. “It really just became I told certain stories because I felt compelled.”
