Vincent Rost alias VNCE is one of the most promising music producers in Germany.The 20 year old works with artists from the USA and Canada and produces songs that go around the world. Since he was around three years old, his grandpa began teaching him to play the piano – without any notes. So he learned early on to get melodies from his head to the keys and to compose pieces himself. At the age of 14, he then took part in a DJ workshop by the local „Jüngste Kultur“ initiative where his talent was discovered.
He taught himself a lot – with YouTube videos
His uncle, also a DJ and music producer, showed him the basics of the music business, everything else he taught himself with the help of YouTube videos. Little by little he bought his equipment and built a small studio in his room from where he later even sold some of his beats to international customers.
The turning point came in spring 2020 when he met Henry Oyekanmi, a Nigerian-American singer from Oakland who performs under the artist name ØHENRY. The two exchanged ideas and quickly became friends and a few months later their first single “Never Let Go“ was released. In the meantime, VNCE has released four singles with different artists, which have been heard by more than a million people around the world.
Sometimes a video call wakes him up in the middle of the night
He always has to have his phone on when he’s in bed. Sometimes he was woken up by a video call from his partner on the other side of the globe who was sitting in the studio and wanted to work on a project together at four in the morning.
Now he’s just started studying
In the long term, however, he sees his future in the USA. The American artists with whom he works are very cordial and appreciate the German reliability. The 20-year-old is studying economics in Munich. For a long time, he had struggled with whether he should start studying or instead concentrate fully on his dream. In the end, he decided to register – not least because of his parents’ work to convince him. In addition, Vince still spends every free second working on beats: “At the moment there is really only music in my life.”
