Rooted in classical music, Vince has proven his skills as a well-rounded composer in the music field. He's best known around Chicago for his hard-hitting delivery with local Rock and Reggae bands and earned the title "Best Keyboardist" by the Chicago Entertainer in 1998.

As an independent producer, performer, and session musician, Vince has worked on many projects over the entire musical spectrum including credits on over twelve Delmark Records releases. Of these, most notably Memphis R&B legend Syl Johnson’s “Back in the Game”, and Chicago Blues great Willie Kent’s “Make Room for the Blues”.

One of Chicago’s foremost contributors to the World Beat genre, Vince has credits on many releases working with notables such as Junior Marvin of the Wailers, Hamid Drake, and Sidney Mills of Steel Pulse. A fixture on the Chicago music scene, Vince has performed with many rock, blues, world beat, and reggae incarnations.

In 2000 he and composer partner Kathyjo Varco formed the music production house Big Sound Music and released a music library of compositions, ranging from quirky lullaby's through truly-funky street rhythms, all the way to earnest and quite moving orchestral themes. He initially scored several political spots, then broke into broadcast television with compositions for Speed Channel, CMT and The History Channel. His knowledge of music, at its core, shows through in his sensibilities when writing for any genre and has a way of tapping in with precision.
