uncovered a very special talent and a popular young gentleman who is already building a significant fan base. To pick up both the ... 'Best Male Solo Act' and ... 'Peoples Choice Award'
is an incredible achievement. We wish him well for the future, are honoured with our association and will be watching the undoubted progress in his musical career with some pride."
Vince proclaimed, "I won! It was an amazing feeling to be recognized for something that I love doing and have worked so hard for. As an artist, it was one of those nights you always dream
you might have one day. The messages of support and congratulations have been overwhelming."
As a special thank you to reach his ever-growing fan base, Vince will be traveling across the pond for a special stateside performance at DeepRockDrive (http://www.deeprockdrive.com) on Sunday, June 1.
