Mark Vincent

“Music is in me. You know, when you’re born with something inherently in you? I think we are all born with a voice capable of singing, but not everyone has it in them to use it. “I grew up listening to all the beautiful arias, and I feel that when I sing, I really am the happiest guy on earth. All my troubles are gone. And you know, many people have a great voice, an exceptional voice even, but what’s missing is the storytelling. It’s not just about singing notes it’s always, always about telling a story”.

Mark Vincent & Australia’s Got Talent

Mark’s own story remains a remarkable one. The Sutherland Shire-raised young man won the third series of ‘Australia’s Got Talent’ in 2009 (an experience he has described as “surreal, amazing”) and soon he was signed to the Sony Music record label – and the world really sat up to take notice.

Mark Vincent Recordings

His first album ‘Mio Visione – My Dream’, captured the hearts of many and he has continued to do so with his following four albums ‘Compass’, ‘The Great Tenor Songbook’, ‘Songs from the Heart’ and most recently ‘The Quartet Sessions’. In amongst all that he has appeared on stage alongside Whitney Houston, Katherine Jenkins, The Priests and Kate Ceberano.

His star continues to rise – indeed, it seems it is only the start of his stratospheric ascent. On his current album ‘The Quartet Sessions’ he once again showcases his singing talent. His voice has a depth and clarity which belies his years, songs which appear on the album such as the beautiful rendition of ‘Besame Mucho’ and ‘Viva La Vida’ clearly illustrate this and truly showcase his innate, God-given gift. ‘The Quartet Sessions’ is a collection of enduring classics (including ‘Burn for You’ and ‘Runaway’), tracks from iconic musicals such as West Side Story and Les Miserables, as well an assortment of contemporary songs such as ‘Halo’ and ‘Jar of Hearts’.

For Mark, singing a collection of classics and contemporary songs was aimed to inspire a youthful audience. “The new record features a variety of songs. It has quite a different feel to my previous records. I’ve taken a few pop songs and given them a classical feel. I’m hoping to also appeal to the younger generation”.

Mark again teamed up with conductor/producer, friend and mentor Chong Lim, backed by the glorious sound of a string quartet. “A lot of the songs we were doing were written for forty piece orchestras; they’re big songs. Chong and I had to find a way to adapt them for four string players”. The end result is a collection of songs which move, tell a story, and have the ability to resonate amongst generations; it’s exactly what Mark aimed to achieve.
