Tony Vincent

Tony Vincent calls New York City home, where from a young age he was exposed to the music of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. In his early teens Vincent began writing songs heavily influenced by Depeche Mode, New Order and Tears for Fears.

While attending university, Vincent started a record company out of his dorm room, recorded a five-song EP, which ultimately led to a recording contract with EMI records. The two solo albums ("Tony Vincent," "One Deed") followed producing six #1 radio singles.

Shortly after moving to NYC in 1998 to continue his recording career, Vincent took an unexpected detour into the world of rock-influenced theater, joining the cast of "RENT", initially as part of the first national tour, then making his Broadway debut in 1999. He was featured as Simon Zealotes in Andrew Lloyd Webber's remake of the film "Jesus Christ Superstar" (2000), and when the production was revived on Broadway that same year Vincent earned critical acclaim starring as Judas Iscariot. In 2002 Vincent originated the role of Galileo Figaro in the rock band Queen's smash hit "We Will Rock You" in London's West End. He also fronted the band (Queen) on several occasions— including a performance of "Bohemian Rhapsody" at Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee concert for a live audience of over 1-million people surrounding Buckingham Palace and over 200-million television viewers world-wide. Two years later he was invited to open the North American premier of "We Will Rock You" in Las Vegas (2004-2005).

During this time Vincent continued to write, and in 2008 independently released the EP "A Better Way," produced by Grammy Award winner Adam Anders. In the fall of 2009, he returned to Broadway, originating the role of St. Jimmy in Green Day's "American Idiot."

Tony is best known for his appearance on the 2nd season of NBC’s "The Voice." While on the show, Tony was selected to be on "Team Cee Lo" and made a lasting impression for fans nationwide with his final performance of The Eurythmics' “Sweet Dreams.”

After 10 months of writing, recording and mixing, Vincent released his highly anticipated self-produced solo project, "In My Head," thru iTunes (http://bit.ly/MebSHh) and CDBaby (http://bit.ly/NgBZOL) on July 10th, 2012.

Tony Vincent continues to write and produce for future projects, both as a solo artist, producer for outside artists and under the band moniker Mercer.
