Bay Area artist Vince A is a Filipino singer/songwriter and producer who has recently started his solo career after his departure from the Hip-Hop group he founded known as “The Lychee Boys”. He felt that writing and producing songs for himself rather than a group was more spiritually fulfilling, allowing him to put his whole heart into his music. His writing and production were recently acknowledged when music.com chose his song, “Understand” by The Lychee Boys, to be mixed by Sony out of 800+ submissions. His focus on his music now goes beyond writing the average catchy love song, hoping to communicate the message of “you are not alone, more people are dealing with the same situation than you think and you’ll be ok”. While still writing catchy hooks and memorable punchlines, he is able to honestly convey strange but relatable experiences in a way that is easily listenable yet powerful.
