Joseph Vincent

Joseph Vincent is an up-and-coming acoustic ARTIST striving to make a name for himself in the world of MUSIC. Growing up, Joseph had an open EAR for music, listening to all types of genres from hip-hop to rock. He picked up his first GUITAR at the age of 15 and started off by playing covers of some of his main musical influences, Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz. He began writing and COMPOSING his own original songs at the age of 16.

Joseph has played large LA-venues including The House of Blues, The Knitting Factory, El Rey Theatre, The Roxy Theatre, and The Troubadour, and also plays at smaller, more INTIMATE venues and local coffee-shops. Joseph’s tunes can also be found streaming through the World Wide Web, with over 350,000 plays on MYSPACE and over 60,000 subscribers on YOUTUBE. Proud of his Filipino heritage, Joseph performed at the 17th Annual Festival of Philippine Arts and Culture in August of 2008, playing his MUSIC for the thousands of ears in attendance. In the summer of 2009, Joseph traveled to the Philippines and played his first show overseas at My Brother’s Mustache, a folk bar in Quezon City.

Mitchell Grey

Once Ryan (vocals) steps to the mic, flanked by his band mates Matt (drums), Napon (bass) & Joe (guitar), he captivates the crowd with his genuine and powerful music. This singer/songwriter started his journey in music as a rapper, realizing he had greater potential elsewhere. He began posting YouTube videos in 2009, and has been gaining scores of supporters ever since with over 20,000 subscribers to date. Drawing comparisons to Justin Nozuka and Nick Jonas, his sound is truly a unique blend of pop, rock, soul and alternative music. In 2010, he released his first EP entitled “Surrounded By White Walls” produced by Jesse Barrera, which became one of the most anticipated releases within the YouTube artist community. The kid from Queens has grown into an artist with tremendous potential, and his band is ready to take the world by storm.
