Vincent Ding
Native to the Bay Area in California, Vincent was born into a family of musicians and played various instruments growing up, such as piano, saxophone, bassoon, and the flute. However, Vincent was steered to focus on other areas in his younger years. It wasn’t until after his studies at New York University, earning a degree in real estate, and working for a few years when the unparalleled fulfillment of music made itself clear to Vincent, inclining him to pursue it. To date, Vincent is releasing his 25-piece Jazz big band with strings and harp album entitled Incredible Views From Above during summer 2022. After working together with multi-award-winning producer Sirintip, the album will feature renowned Jazz artists including Steve Kortyka, Danny Jonokuchi, Brandee Younger, Alex Hahn, Bijon Watson, amongst others. The album has also been mixed by Grammy award-winning producer/mixer/engineer Nic Hard.
Along with the album, Vincent will release his songs with 2 music videos as a gateway to bring an easier understanding to Jazz music. Vincent also runs a TikTok series named biweekly dose of jazz, where he covers Jazz standards to deliver and inspire the younger audience. Having grown up in an Asian American community where pursuing a STEM related career path was advised against others, Vincent has his rooted effort to encourage young people to pursue their dreams and motivate older folks to pick up the passions they had left behind.
