Music Career
Starting Out: The Four and The Feeling (2018–2020)
Vincint appeared on the TV show The Four in 2018. They joined the show just one week before the final competition. All the judges voted "yes" for them after they sang a song by Radiohead. Vincint made it to the finale but was eliminated in the first round.
In 2018, Vincint released three songs: "Remember Me," "Mine," and "Marrow." "Marrow" was their very first song released. They also released a music video for "Marrow" on February 8, 2018. This video was filmed in a church, which was a nod to Vincint's childhood. Their singing style can be powerful and loud, or soft and whispery. Vincint describes their music as pop.
On April 5, 2019, Vincint shared a music video for their song "Please Don't Fall in Love." Their first EP, The Feeling, was released on February 14, 2020. One of Vincint's songs, "Be Me," was chosen as the theme song for the fifth season of the TV show Queer Eye. They also released "Hard 2 Forget" as the first song from their upcoming album.

On May 28, 2021, Vincint released the song "Kill My Heart." This song featured other artists named Parson James and Qveen Herby. They then released another song called "Getaway" on June 9, which featured the group Tegan and Sara.
Vincint's first full album, There Will Be Tears, was released on June 11, 2021. Many people described the album as both emotional and great for dancing. After the album came out, Vincint planned their first concert tour, called The Getaway Tour. The tour was first set for early 2022. However, it was rescheduled and ran from May 5 to May 29, 2022. In June 2022, Vincint's song "Mission" was featured on the soundtrack for the third season of the TV show Love, Victor.
