The Vincent Antone Episode

Get Familiar with Vincent Antone, the man behind the “All the Pretty Lights” tribute that recently reverberated some much-needed positive vibes in the Pretty Lights Family. Vincent shares which Pretty Lights interviews he sampled in the tribute, his creative process on making music that Makes You Feel, and how a Pretty Lights performance video on YouTube inspired him to get on the waitlist for a monome made by a couple that only builds 200-300 a year. Vincent is a talented musician whose various projects have performed at many major festivals including  Austin City Limits, Wakarusa, and even the last Pretty Lights Episodic Festival in Texas.  Represented by Mammoth Music Group, Vincent ponders what avenues he might take his latest project given his myriad of interests and influences, and hopes to cultivate a fanbase that is open to experimentation.

Vincent kept it real and shared some incredibly vulnerable struggles from his past, his ongoing journey for self-improvement, and how these experiences have helped shape his outlook that maybe life is “about experiencing [suffering,] using it, and coming out on top” If you enjoyed the “All the Pretty Lights,” tribute check out his music and keep your eye out in this episode for a sneak peek of a track from his new EP dropping this spring.

“I think what [Pretty Lights] did most importantly is he disproved the notion that electronic music couldn’t be human or soulful. He was, to me, what proved that it could be”
