ABOUT

Zac Vincent is a 28 year old musician based in Gravesend, Kent. Zac picked up and played his first guitar at three years old and music has been a permanent fixture in his life ever since.

Growing up, Zac’s musical influences included Queen, The Rolling Stones and Oasis. His love of performing has grown with him; at the age of eight he performed a charity gig for the Terrence Higgins Trust. Together with a later follow up gig for the charity resulted in a fundraising effort of £4000, and all before he was ten years old.

Zac made a natural progression into songwriting whilst continuing to perform at every opportunity. This was as diverse as being a guest on stage with a well known Queen tribute act and performing at Rochester Cathedral for World Aids Day. Zac’s performances and growing reputation even earned him a face to face meet with one of his idols, Brian May.

Zac fronted a local band with fellow schoolmates, The Tonics. This was where he  came to life as a lead vocalist and guitarist;  performing the songs he grew up listening to as well as brand new original material. With The Tonics Zac gained vast experience of performing to large audiences at pubs, weddings, private functions and festivals. Meanwhile Zac studied Music at school passing with distinction B Tec Diploma Level 2 and then continued and passed Level 3.

Zac had the honour of playing on the Gravesham Mayor’s fundraising cruise as well as at a major charity event for him. During the 2012 Olympics Zac was the entertainment for the Olympic campsite in Gravesend. His gig history diversifies and grows year on year.

Zac expanded into a totally different music arena and spent a year in the music department of St Johns School, Gravesend. Zac continues to offer guitar lessons; building up his music teaching portfolio, passing on his passion to the next generation.

Zac’s band history includes Apollo Bleu, The Live Wire, The Rum, The Tonics, The May Day Riots and Spinner.

Zac is a passionate musician who loves entertaining. On stage is where he feels most at home and he gets a huge sense of pride reaching others through his music.

‘Music is a language that doesn’t speak in particular words. It speaks in emotions, and if it’s in the bones, it’s in the bones.’
