In the 6th grade M began programming and listening to jazz and electronic music; at the age of 17 he was playing piano professionally solo and with working bands, also interning in a commercial recording studio. Music and electronics were an early love.
Since 2000, M Vincent has played, recorded, or otherwise worked with Animato, Electric Soul Method,Josh Hoyer, The Guapotones,Spin-LDN, Planet-22, Dj Nos, Rilo Kiley, Sauce, Hymn For the Hurricane, Lucas Kellison and Tummy of SadSon Productions, members of what is now the Awkwords.
In summer 2007 M performed (live p.a.) with Sauce at outdoor electronic events in New Mexico, Wyoming, and Illinois (Cave Rave) under the name
Ong's Hat. As a duo they released the Harbinger EP on minimal net label
Insectorama. In September M Vincent released OS SEX [p2p waiting for download] on
Ouim.
Also that autumn he joined Hiers of Enka and Robison's Honest Soul on piano; the two groups comprise of M's connection to hip-hop and soul music, and work together. Releases and a tour schedule are to be announced.
2008 has brought a new label: Mark II Records, and digital distribution through Beatport.
New hip-hop, jazz, and electronic releases will soon be available from M Vincent and others. In the name of bringing noise, M has turned to tables this year, but can still be seen playing jazz piano, rapping, tweaking knobs, promoting for the Fox Theatre, and running sound.
