Incredible Views From Above

A 25-piece Jazz big band with strings and harp album. It was recorded entirely remote, individually at home across the US in the summer of 2020, during COVID-19. The album wholesomely channels Vincent’s dynamic life journey over the last 22 years, when the album was recorded, including his humbled background filled with bullying and lack of self-confidence. However, he also learned over time that with the power of perseverance, anyone could overcome those debilitating hurdles to unlock the fulfilled, purposeful, and happiness-driven life they deserve – empowering notions that Vincent embodies in his music to encourage others to not give up on their lifelong passions. Upon discovering music being his ultimate gateway during hard times and emphasizing with others facing similar struggles, Vincent has since achieved lifelong dreams he never thought were possible. Since then, he has been committed to expanding upon that evolving music pathway to leave lasting, emotional impressions that he can both reflect on himself and inspire others to never stop reaching for the stars.
