Speaker 3 (00:56):
I love that you say.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Just Vince right, you know what.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
I'm just playing old country boy events from Newbern, North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
And you were born in Newburn?
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Yes, I was born in Newbern, North Carolina, born and
raised up until the time I left UH and went
to New York City. But that yeah, I was born
and raised in Newbern, North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Wow. So why did you go to New York City?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Well?
Speaker 5 (01:25):
I was wanted. I was I can put it like
being like the prodigal son, you know what I mean.
I wanted to UH, I wanted to try my feet elsewhere,
you know what I mean, I had not passed my
grade and my auntie, all my aunties were educators, and
then it was an embarrassment to her, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
And I was catching a lot of heat from that.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
And I was supposed to be graduating, and it was
shame for her, for her being an educator, that I
didn't pass my grade, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
And uh, and I felt like I should leave.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
And try something different, and uh, you know, not to mention,
I had been through a really terrible childhood, you know,
from being abused, you know, my mom being an alcoholic
and you know, and being sexually abused and being misplaced
and moving from this place to that place, and you know,
and I had already had a lot of trauma in
(02:19):
my life.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
So you know, I wanted to be anywhere that.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I wasn't, if it make any sense, And it was
a way for me to to leave and to start
a new life and I can get to be anybody
I wanted to.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Be, right, you know, right? Wow, And you picked New
York ab all places to do that in.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Well, yeah, my sister stayed in New York and I
went up there and I started out. I got there
and uh, and I always loved New York City because
I love the way the people talked, and you know,
they was telling me about the delights and that I
experienced that. And I want to be someone else other
than who I was myself, because I was already lost.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I didn't know me.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Wow wow, So I know, And coming from like the
country to the city, what kind of adjustment was that
for you?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
It was a everything you knew about life you had
to learn over, you know, from coming from a town
that had twenty cars coming down the street and my
Audien said, wow, there's a lot of traffic out here today,
going through somewhere where that there's cars all over the way.
You know, you had to learn to readjust you know.
(03:33):
And I was trying to I was trying to fit in.
I was looking for love, you know, but I forgot
that I had well, I didn't know how to love myself.
I was ashamed of me, you know, for not being
able to learn well and able to feeling like I
(03:54):
was dumb and stupid.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
And you know, and.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Did anybody, you know, did anybody say that to you?
Or it was you saying it to yourself.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Well, you know, when you when you grew up in
in in in the household. You know, when your mom's
an alcoholic and she could. I don't blame her. She
she didn't, she didn't know anything different.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
He did the best she could, right, Yeah, once she
was taught.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
And then being the less died, you know, and never
having keeping all that to myself, never having anybody to
to to tell this about out of the embarrassment and
a shame because it's happened up until that. I was
the age of seven maybe eight, and uh, and I
was already destroyed. See when trauma happens in your life,
and I learned this years later, that's where.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
You stop growing. That's emotional, you know.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
So I had to learn to go back to confront
the child and me, although I was a fully grown man,
that's a child that still.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Needed to be comfort and to be leading to need
to be set free.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
You're absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
You you started out and you were a singer. Tell
us about your singing career. When did you start singing?
When did you realize that? But you had a great voice.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Well, again, singing was a comfort to me. You know,
I didn't know anything about a voice. I just knew
that I loved music and I gravitated to it, and
you know, I should be in my mother's mirror, you know,
when lived in the projects, and I would have a
towel around my neck, you know, and I was James
Brown or I was half something around my name, and
(05:23):
I was Michael Jackson. And I was just turning and
twisting and doing all these things. That was that was
that I loved to do because it was something that
was placed in me and also to it was a
way for me to escape what was happening to me
at the present, you know. And I would go to church.
My mother would take me over to the church and
(05:43):
she would drop me off because she had been drinking.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
She was drunk, and she was dropping me off. My
grandmother would you know, be there.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
And I would be in church, and you know, was
singing a young adults choir and then from the well
from the children choirs, from the children choirs to the
young adults choir, and a young adults choir that the
inspirational acquired from the inspiration choirr the senior.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Choir, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
So I was sung on all the choirs and and
just never dawned on me about Hey, Vince, you know,
you have some type of voice on you.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
You need it. I did it for comfort. I did
it for it excuse.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
And I never thought about myself as being a singer
because I was listening to other things said wow, they
really sound good, and they would say that about me,
but I didn't see what they saw. H m hm.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Well, because you didn't love yourself at that time.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
But but talk about talk about you travel.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
With some groups and you sang with some groups.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Did you sing gospel at that time?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Yeah? I sung with gospel. I started out with the group.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
And my hometown called the Chosen Views. You know, a
few guys we got gotten together.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
You know.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Well, first I learned how to sing harmony. But it
was never hard for me to sing harmony because I
just called onto it, you know, just gravitated me. But
I sung in in in the barbershop choir in high school.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
And then you know, years later, you know, got this
group together called the Chosen Few, and we went on.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
We did things with John p quy and Dorothy Norwood
and were sung on some really big programs.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
You know.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
But mind you, I was still an attict alcoholic at
that time, so I was going and drinking.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Before the show or after the show, or had been
high and out running all night.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Long and coming and singing, singing the gospel, you know,
and for some reason, Uh, God take care of babies
and fools.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
You know. I wouldn't no baby, but I was a fool,
you know.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
So uh so we sung on some of those and
we could have gone professional, but we I wasn't the
only one that was hooked on the drugs and it
was one of the women and stuff like that. You know,
there were other people in my group that was doing
the same thing, and and it just went on and
(08:02):
on for years, you know, and singing quartet and.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
It was great.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
So I sung with them, and I went on and
I did some things.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
You know, opening for some other groups, you know, like.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
God knows what's the guy's name, God Willie Neil Johnson
and gospel keynotes and you know things like that.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
So and you know, singing but not living the life.
I know that that was interesting. So what did it
change for you? Like you said, you know, I was
an alcoholic, a drug addict, and you say in your
bio that you were homeless for some years.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
How how were you dealing with yourself at that time?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Harshly, harshly because I didn't come from a family like.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
That, you know, you know, my mother and father was
never married, and and so my father my mom died
when I was eight years old, seven or eight years old,
and my father had passed on before then.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
So my grandmother, raised Moose, was my father's mother.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
And I dealt with myself harshly because I didn't come
from a family I come from a family of educators
and college graduates and police officers, doctors and all that
kind of stuff. I come from a really really good,
you know, well groomed family, and so it was hard
for me. I dealt with myself very harshly, you know,
(09:32):
from being homeless and all these things that I went
through stemmed from drug addiction. From there to prison, five rehabilitation,
six rehabilitation centers, jails, I don't know how many times.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
And still I had not dealt with the person. I
just thought things was happening to me, you know, and
you know some.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Way, but you know what, through it all, I always
acknowledge the Lord, I said, train the child in the
way that that she grew up. When it got old,
it went not depart. And so what was placed in
me and instilled in me never went away, you know,
and stayed there, you know what I mean, because God
had to put a plan.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Well, Satan's plan was to kill me right right, So.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
God, God had to put a plan ahead of him,
you know, to keep me alive, you know what I mean,
because what he had placed in me was favor, you know.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
And I didn't know anything about favor, you know. I
just thought I was existing.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
And I also thought when my mom died early, my
dad died early, So.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
If I lived, that you were going to go too, right.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yeah, if I lived to be fifty one years old
or fifty two years old, I've outlived them.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
And I'm satisfied with that.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Yeah, you know what I mean. Wow, So when did
it change for events?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
When did you just say, look, I'm tired, I'm not
doing this anymore.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I'm done.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Lord, Lord, I surrender. When did you surrender to everything?
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Well, it's been some years now, a long time, you know,
I said, Lord.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
I said, Well, I said.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
God, I ain't never been no bad person, you know,
LOR said, come to you as you are, And I
came to aim real ghetto.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Lord, I ain't never being no bad person, I said.
But and I know who you are.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Sometimes I doubt you because I'm scared. I don't know
which way to go. But if you please help me,
if you please protect me until I can stand on
my feet, I'll tell I promise you, I'll tell everybody
I know about you and how I got here, and
(11:57):
also too, I'll go back and our help other people out.
If you let me live long enough to get my
mind right, I promise you. I may not do everything perfect,
but I'll do the best I can do. And from
that point on, things started to slowly change. It didn't
gradually change over night, because I slipped and failed sometimes.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Too, of course, But.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
When I failed, I never stayed there. I got up.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
I wanted to fight, you know, and and I wanted
I knew there was more into me, more in I
knew there was more to me than drugs. I knew
there was more to me than running women. I knew
there was more to me than the things that was
was around me, because it was it was that.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Thing that was placed in my spirit.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
You more than that, you know, you know, And I
and I just gradually continue to do right. I didn't
try to justify anything to go. I didn't go to
him like Adam and said it was a woman you
gave me.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
You didn't blame somebody else.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Oh, I said, Lord, I said, I did it. I'm sorry.
Let me try again.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Please, Yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Know, and I felt again, I'm sorry, let me try again.
Did you forgive a man seven times?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (13:22):
I said, Lord, you said, I said, Lord, if you
God like you said you was, You said, if I
come to you, you are faithful and just to forgive me.
I said, I'm coming to you and I was wrong.
I'm not coming to you telling you just to find anything.
I just want you to know that I was wrong,
and I want to try it again.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
That's amazing testimony.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Amazing testimony. Thanks thanks for being so transparent.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Because a lot of people wouldn't talk about their life
like that.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
You know, well, you overcome the things that happened to
you by your testimonies, and somebody, you know, I realized
that don't only think God will allow you to keep
in your life is what you give away. And so
there's another events out there, you know, and I and
(14:10):
people can spot phonies. So it's and the spirit agrees
with spirit. So it's important to me to be totally
honest with you about who I am because I don't
want to stand in front of the Lord one day
and you start.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Flipping the things out. You didn't say this, you didn't
say that, you sugar coat a this. No no, no, no, no, no.
It's hot in hell and I ain't got no help.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Absolutely. Then law I said, I can't go.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I can't do it, not like that, no way, no, no,
no no. So you you went from singing gospel to
R and B. Talk about that that kind of transformation
or was it a transformation that you actually had to
go through to be able to do that.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Yeah, it's a it's a it's it's singing gospel and
R and B is just as different as nighties today,
you know. Yeah, it's a total transformation. I love gospel music.
I'm always gonna be a gospel artist. I always sing
gospel music. I love the Lord, and I love his
(15:26):
hymns and praising his name and just singing it and.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Just feeling that breath of fresh air coming. And I
love that.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
It's nothing like it. The transformation for me was getting
tired of hearing. And don't get me wrong, I love
Chris Brown, I love Usher, I love all those guys.
I think they're phenomenal artists. I love I love their music,
a lot of it, some of it I don't really mess.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
With too tough.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
But I said to myself, what happened to Luther vand Rose?
What happened to the headed pentagrams? What happened to the
Peeble Bryson's. What happened to the music that made us
feel we wanted to do something different, wanting to be better?
What happened to just to talk about love and intimacy?
(16:18):
You know, I don't feel like I should be singing
I'm gonna make you wet the bed. That's something you
need to be talking between you and your woman and
whoever else you can be talking to.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
You keep that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Off the radio because I feel that raw artist needs
to be more responsible with the lyrics and what they're doing,
you know what I mean? Because I don't want a
child to come in and be singing that to me.
I'm like, oh my lord, where you get that from?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Lady B is a.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Perfect example that she was taking her child to her
in the hotel room and somebody was paying her music,
and she'd grab her son and she started yelling, and
her daughter and put her hands over his ears.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Well, my thing is.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Why are you putting it out for You don't even
want your own child to hear it? Putting it out brother,
people's children to hear it. That's not a responsible artist.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
So I got tired of that, and I got tired
of hearing that. And I wanted my music to be
the music that children can sing. It can be as
ready or free me it's ready. And I don't have
to bleep bleep every word out, you.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
I can talk about real things like love and passion
and and and and holding an intimacy. I'm talking about
things that mattered, you know, unto us. And and I
got up with Jay Styles, one of the group members
from the group Black Street on Teddy Riley with Black Street.
(17:44):
I was, uh, he heard my sound and he says, yo, man, uh,
let's see what we can do it.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Come to the studio and we got a song together.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
And and I didn't know a lot that he taught me.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
He actually I could sing, but he taught me how
to sing.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Yeah, that's what a good producer does.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
That's what a good One time we took a line
by line, I was like, Lord, I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I was.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
I know, I didn't know about stacking, and I didn't
know about this, and I didn't know about this and that,
and I was like wow.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
So then when they mastered and mixed it, I was like,
who that?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
You were amazed? Right?
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Yeah, I was amazed.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
I was shocking big up to Jay Styles on Black
Street and Teddy Riley.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Thank you guys so much.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I appreciate you Jay for stepping in and you know,
taking the rings and showing me how to be to
be an artist.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah, I guess you know, looking back, you just say,
look at God.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Look what God? Did you know?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Absolutely, he gets he got. He goes before anybody. If
it ain't if he ain't leading away, I ain't going.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
If he's not.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
If he's not leading away, just that's not going you
know what I mean Because Vince just Vent's is gonna
be going to just hell, and.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
I'm not about to go there for nobody.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
You know, I lived that right here, or I don't
need to go to tell you what.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I know what it's like.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
That's right right now. Are you still in New York?
Speaker 4 (19:12):
No? No, no, no, I'm in Virginia. I live in Virginia.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Yeah, Like I said, I'm from North Carolina. I live
in Virginia by way of North Carolina.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
That's the mind. So I was born in a Yeah,
that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
So are you producing? Did you record?
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Tell me about what you've been doing with your music?
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Oh wow?
Speaker 5 (19:32):
My music is out on all digital platforms, digital download platforms, streaming,
whether he's downloaded or streaming.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
I'm a writer.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Vocalists and Jay have taught me some things about the
engineering part of it and showing me that, but I didn't.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Really get in too much of it, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
You know, you know a lot of times we got
to stay where God put us at, you know, And
one lady said we want time for it.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Law said, you're gonna be a preacher.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
I said, well, that's funny because he never told me that,
you know, and.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
You're gonna tell me something. You're not gonna tell you
something that he don't.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Tell me, tell me right right? Yeah exactly.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
So you can kill that lady because I don't want
to hear that, you know what I mean. No, he
didn't call me to be no preacher. He called me
to be a person of of of inspiration, just what
he called me to do, and that's what I do.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
I see in my own lane. But yeah, but as
far as I'm seeing, you know.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Out on all digital platforms, just Vince one, and I
put a one behind my name, because there's another Just
Vents out there, you know, so to make just Vince
and just Vins one, those.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Are two different entities to better people.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
But usually I just go by just Vince and you know,
we got it all out on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music,
and go to YouTube.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Project what's the name of the project?
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Well, I didn't actually put up our name of the
project out there because there's seven of them.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Out there, you know.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
But you just go on the just just that's one,
you know, and you'll find all my music all over everywhere. iHeartRadio. Uh,
it's just everywhere the planet, everywhere. And it's takes some
time to pick up build ups momentum because a lot
of times people don't like what I won't say it
like some people, well people, some people don't like new things.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
You know.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Some people don't want you know, they want to still
stick with something that they're familiar with and and and
I can understand that, being as some of the artists
has let them down, you know, but I want to
go back into that good soul.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
R and B like the reason we need, Yeah, we
need like.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
A reason francs that're giving them something they.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Can Yeah yeah yeah. So what's the song that you're
that's out for you right now?
Speaker 5 (21:55):
My latest song is out right now, that just was
released maybe a couple of weeks ago. It's a song
of intimacy and it's called stay in Bed.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
You know.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
The song is an intimate song of the love of
a I shouldn't say that, but your partner, you know
what I mean. Because I don't want to get in
trouble about the LGBT community. Some people take that. I
want nobody to take it the wrong way. So who
you love is who you love, okay, But for me
it would be a woman. So we stay in bed
(22:28):
and it means that, you know, hey, it's going outside,
it's raining outside.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
It's just I just want to be close to you,
you know what I mean. Let's just stay here and

Just Vince right, you know what.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
I'm just playing old country boy events from Newbern, North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
And you were born in Newburn?
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Yes, I was born in Newbern, North Carolina, born and
raised up until the time I left UH and went
to New York City. But that yeah, I was born
and raised in Newbern, North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Wow. So why did you go to New York City?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Well?
Speaker 5 (01:25):
I was wanted. I was I can put it like
being like the prodigal son, you know what I mean.
I wanted to UH, I wanted to try my feet elsewhere,
you know what I mean, I had not passed my
grade and my auntie, all my aunties were educators, and
then it was an embarrassment to her, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
And I was catching a lot of heat from that.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
And I was supposed to be graduating, and it was
shame for her, for her being an educator, that I
didn't pass my grade, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
And uh, and I felt like I should leave.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
And try something different, and uh, you know, not to mention,
I had been through a really terrible childhood, you know,
from being abused, you know, my mom being an alcoholic
and you know, and being sexually abused and being misplaced
and moving from this place to that place, and you know,
and I had already had a lot of trauma in
(02:19):
my life.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
So you know, I wanted to be anywhere that.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I wasn't, if it make any sense, And it was
a way for me to to leave and to start
a new life and I can get to be anybody
I wanted to.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Be, right, you know, right? Wow, And you picked New
York ab all places to do that in.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Well, yeah, my sister stayed in New York and I
went up there and I started out. I got there
and uh, and I always loved New York City because
I love the way the people talked, and you know,
they was telling me about the delights and that I
experienced that. And I want to be someone else other
than who I was myself, because I was already lost.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I didn't know me.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Wow wow, So I know, And coming from like the
country to the city, what kind of adjustment was that
for you?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
It was a everything you knew about life you had
to learn over, you know, from coming from a town
that had twenty cars coming down the street and my
Audien said, wow, there's a lot of traffic out here today,
going through somewhere where that there's cars all over the way.
You know, you had to learn to readjust you know.
(03:33):
And I was trying to I was trying to fit in.
I was looking for love, you know, but I forgot
that I had well, I didn't know how to love myself.
I was ashamed of me, you know, for not being
able to learn well and able to feeling like I
(03:54):
was dumb and stupid.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
And you know, and.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Did anybody, you know, did anybody say that to you?
Or it was you saying it to yourself.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Well, you know, when you when you grew up in
in in in the household. You know, when your mom's
an alcoholic and she could. I don't blame her. She
she didn't, she didn't know anything different.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
He did the best she could, right, Yeah, once she
was taught.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
And then being the less died, you know, and never
having keeping all that to myself, never having anybody to
to to tell this about out of the embarrassment and
a shame because it's happened up until that. I was
the age of seven maybe eight, and uh, and I
was already destroyed. See when trauma happens in your life,
and I learned this years later, that's where.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
You stop growing. That's emotional, you know.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
So I had to learn to go back to confront
the child and me, although I was a fully grown man,
that's a child that still.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Needed to be comfort and to be leading to need
to be set free.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
You're absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
You you started out and you were a singer. Tell
us about your singing career. When did you start singing?
When did you realize that? But you had a great voice.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Well, again, singing was a comfort to me. You know,
I didn't know anything about a voice. I just knew
that I loved music and I gravitated to it, and
you know, I should be in my mother's mirror, you know,
when lived in the projects, and I would have a
towel around my neck, you know, and I was James
Brown or I was half something around my name, and
(05:23):
I was Michael Jackson. And I was just turning and
twisting and doing all these things. That was that was
that I loved to do because it was something that
was placed in me and also to it was a
way for me to escape what was happening to me
at the present, you know. And I would go to church.
My mother would take me over to the church and
(05:43):
she would drop me off because she had been drinking.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
She was drunk, and she was dropping me off. My
grandmother would you know, be there.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
And I would be in church, and you know, was
singing a young adults choir and then from the well
from the children choirs, from the children choirs to the
young adults choir, and a young adults choir that the
inspirational acquired from the inspiration choirr the senior.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Choir, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
So I was sung on all the choirs and and
just never dawned on me about Hey, Vince, you know,
you have some type of voice on you.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
You need it. I did it for comfort. I did
it for it excuse.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
And I never thought about myself as being a singer
because I was listening to other things said wow, they
really sound good, and they would say that about me,
but I didn't see what they saw. H m hm.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Well, because you didn't love yourself at that time.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
But but talk about talk about you travel.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
With some groups and you sang with some groups.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Did you sing gospel at that time?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Yeah? I sung with gospel. I started out with the group.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
And my hometown called the Chosen Views. You know, a
few guys we got gotten together.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
You know.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Well, first I learned how to sing harmony. But it
was never hard for me to sing harmony because I
just called onto it, you know, just gravitated me. But
I sung in in in the barbershop choir in high school.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
And then you know, years later, you know, got this
group together called the Chosen Few, and we went on.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
We did things with John p quy and Dorothy Norwood
and were sung on some really big programs.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
You know.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
But mind you, I was still an attict alcoholic at
that time, so I was going and drinking.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Before the show or after the show, or had been
high and out running all night.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Long and coming and singing, singing the gospel, you know,
and for some reason, Uh, God take care of babies
and fools.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
You know. I wouldn't no baby, but I was a fool,
you know.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
So uh so we sung on some of those and
we could have gone professional, but we I wasn't the
only one that was hooked on the drugs and it
was one of the women and stuff like that. You know,
there were other people in my group that was doing
the same thing, and and it just went on and
(08:02):
on for years, you know, and singing quartet and.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
It was great.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
So I sung with them, and I went on and
I did some things.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
You know, opening for some other groups, you know, like.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
God knows what's the guy's name, God Willie Neil Johnson
and gospel keynotes and you know things like that.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
So and you know, singing but not living the life.
I know that that was interesting. So what did it
change for you? Like you said, you know, I was
an alcoholic, a drug addict, and you say in your
bio that you were homeless for some years.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
How how were you dealing with yourself at that time?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Harshly, harshly because I didn't come from a family like.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
That, you know, you know, my mother and father was
never married, and and so my father my mom died
when I was eight years old, seven or eight years old,
and my father had passed on before then.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
So my grandmother, raised Moose, was my father's mother.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
And I dealt with myself harshly because I didn't come
from a family I come from a family of educators
and college graduates and police officers, doctors and all that
kind of stuff. I come from a really really good,
you know, well groomed family, and so it was hard
for me. I dealt with myself very harshly, you know,
(09:32):
from being homeless and all these things that I went
through stemmed from drug addiction. From there to prison, five rehabilitation,
six rehabilitation centers, jails, I don't know how many times.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
And still I had not dealt with the person. I
just thought things was happening to me, you know, and
you know some.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Way, but you know what, through it all, I always
acknowledge the Lord, I said, train the child in the
way that that she grew up. When it got old,
it went not depart. And so what was placed in
me and instilled in me never went away, you know,
and stayed there, you know what I mean, because God
had to put a plan.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Well, Satan's plan was to kill me right right, So.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
God, God had to put a plan ahead of him,
you know, to keep me alive, you know what I mean,
because what he had placed in me was favor, you know.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
And I didn't know anything about favor, you know. I
just thought I was existing.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
And I also thought when my mom died early, my
dad died early, So.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
If I lived, that you were going to go too, right.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yeah, if I lived to be fifty one years old
or fifty two years old, I've outlived them.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
And I'm satisfied with that.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Yeah, you know what I mean. Wow, So when did
it change for events?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
When did you just say, look, I'm tired, I'm not
doing this anymore.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I'm done.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Lord, Lord, I surrender. When did you surrender to everything?
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Well, it's been some years now, a long time, you know,
I said, Lord.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
I said, Well, I said.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
God, I ain't never been no bad person, you know,
LOR said, come to you as you are, And I
came to aim real ghetto.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Lord, I ain't never being no bad person, I said.
But and I know who you are.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Sometimes I doubt you because I'm scared. I don't know
which way to go. But if you please help me,
if you please protect me until I can stand on
my feet, I'll tell I promise you, I'll tell everybody
I know about you and how I got here, and
(11:57):
also too, I'll go back and our help other people out.
If you let me live long enough to get my
mind right, I promise you. I may not do everything perfect,
but I'll do the best I can do. And from
that point on, things started to slowly change. It didn't
gradually change over night, because I slipped and failed sometimes.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Too, of course, But.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
When I failed, I never stayed there. I got up.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
I wanted to fight, you know, and and I wanted
I knew there was more into me, more in I
knew there was more to me than drugs. I knew
there was more to me than running women. I knew
there was more to me than the things that was
was around me, because it was it was that.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Thing that was placed in my spirit.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
You more than that, you know, you know, And I
and I just gradually continue to do right. I didn't
try to justify anything to go. I didn't go to
him like Adam and said it was a woman you
gave me.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
You didn't blame somebody else.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Oh, I said, Lord, I said, I did it. I'm sorry.
Let me try again.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Please, Yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Know, and I felt again, I'm sorry, let me try again.
Did you forgive a man seven times?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (13:22):
I said, Lord, you said, I said, Lord, if you
God like you said you was, You said, if I
come to you, you are faithful and just to forgive me.
I said, I'm coming to you and I was wrong.
I'm not coming to you telling you just to find anything.
I just want you to know that I was wrong,
and I want to try it again.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
That's amazing testimony.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Amazing testimony. Thanks thanks for being so transparent.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Because a lot of people wouldn't talk about their life
like that.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
You know, well, you overcome the things that happened to
you by your testimonies, and somebody, you know, I realized
that don't only think God will allow you to keep
in your life is what you give away. And so
there's another events out there, you know, and I and
(14:10):
people can spot phonies. So it's and the spirit agrees
with spirit. So it's important to me to be totally
honest with you about who I am because I don't
want to stand in front of the Lord one day
and you start.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Flipping the things out. You didn't say this, you didn't
say that, you sugar coat a this. No no, no, no, no, no.
It's hot in hell and I ain't got no help.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Absolutely. Then law I said, I can't go.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I can't do it, not like that, no way, no, no,
no no. So you you went from singing gospel to
R and B. Talk about that that kind of transformation
or was it a transformation that you actually had to
go through to be able to do that.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Yeah, it's a it's a it's it's singing gospel and
R and B is just as different as nighties today,
you know. Yeah, it's a total transformation. I love gospel music.
I'm always gonna be a gospel artist. I always sing
gospel music. I love the Lord, and I love his
(15:26):
hymns and praising his name and just singing it and.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Just feeling that breath of fresh air coming. And I
love that.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
It's nothing like it. The transformation for me was getting
tired of hearing. And don't get me wrong, I love
Chris Brown, I love Usher, I love all those guys.
I think they're phenomenal artists. I love I love their music,
a lot of it, some of it I don't really mess.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
With too tough.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
But I said to myself, what happened to Luther vand Rose?
What happened to the headed pentagrams? What happened to the
Peeble Bryson's. What happened to the music that made us
feel we wanted to do something different, wanting to be better?
What happened to just to talk about love and intimacy?
(16:18):
You know, I don't feel like I should be singing
I'm gonna make you wet the bed. That's something you
need to be talking between you and your woman and
whoever else you can be talking to.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
You keep that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Off the radio because I feel that raw artist needs
to be more responsible with the lyrics and what they're doing,
you know what I mean? Because I don't want a
child to come in and be singing that to me.
I'm like, oh my lord, where you get that from?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Lady B is a.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Perfect example that she was taking her child to her
in the hotel room and somebody was paying her music,
and she'd grab her son and she started yelling, and
her daughter and put her hands over his ears.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Well, my thing is.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Why are you putting it out for You don't even
want your own child to hear it? Putting it out brother,
people's children to hear it. That's not a responsible artist.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
So I got tired of that, and I got tired
of hearing that. And I wanted my music to be
the music that children can sing. It can be as
ready or free me it's ready. And I don't have
to bleep bleep every word out, you.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
I can talk about real things like love and passion
and and and and holding an intimacy. I'm talking about
things that mattered, you know, unto us. And and I
got up with Jay Styles, one of the group members
from the group Black Street on Teddy Riley with Black Street.
(17:44):
I was, uh, he heard my sound and he says, yo, man, uh,
let's see what we can do it.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Come to the studio and we got a song together.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
And and I didn't know a lot that he taught me.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
He actually I could sing, but he taught me how
to sing.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Yeah, that's what a good producer does.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
That's what a good One time we took a line
by line, I was like, Lord, I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I was.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
I know, I didn't know about stacking, and I didn't
know about this, and I didn't know about this and that,
and I was like wow.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
So then when they mastered and mixed it, I was like,
who that?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
You were amazed? Right?
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Yeah, I was amazed.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
I was shocking big up to Jay Styles on Black
Street and Teddy Riley.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Thank you guys so much.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I appreciate you Jay for stepping in and you know,
taking the rings and showing me how to be to
be an artist.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah, I guess you know, looking back, you just say,
look at God.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Look what God? Did you know?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Absolutely, he gets he got. He goes before anybody. If
it ain't if he ain't leading away, I ain't going.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
If he's not.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
If he's not leading away, just that's not going you
know what I mean Because Vince just Vent's is gonna
be going to just hell, and.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
I'm not about to go there for nobody.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
You know, I lived that right here, or I don't
need to go to tell you what.
Speaker 4 (19:06):

something that he don't.

So you can kill that lady because I don't want
to hear that, you know what I mean. No, he
didn't call me to be no preacher. He called me
to be a person of of of inspiration, just what
he called me to do, and that's what I do.

you know, and you'll find all my music all over everywhere. iHeartRadio. Uh,

time to pick up build ups momentum because a lot

released maybe a couple of weeks ago. It's a song
of intimacy and it's called stay in Bed.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
The song is an intimate song of the love of
a I shouldn't say that, but your partner, you know
what I mean. Because I don't want to get in
trouble about the LGBT community. Some people take that. I
want nobody to take it the wrong way. So who
you love is who you love, okay, But for me
it would be a woman. So we stay in bed
(22:28):
