THE BAND

ABOUT

Vince Nerone is a unique singer, songwriter from Cleveland, OH. With his ever-evolving style, Vince has managed to make his mark in the music scene and created a genre category of his own, standing out from the over-saturation of Top 40-inspired music. He has avoided being put in a "box" by labeling his music within a specific genre category, as he effortlessly fuses different styles and captivates audiences with his sound. His music is inspired by a composition of pop-punk rock with notes of emo-rap and hip hop, which provides a rather unparalleled blend of tracks. Mental health is a strong and consistent theme in his releases and his vulnerability is what creates such a strong bond between him and his audience.

Having emerged victorious in iHeart Radio's Battle of the Land competition, Vince has proven his tenacity as a dynamic performer and since has only continued to evolve and impress. Currently he is focusing on continuing to build consistent fan engagement with live shows. He is accompanied by four talented band members - Neek on drums, Dibby on electric guitar, Arti on rhythm guitar and Aleks on bass guitar - all of which work together to bring unforgettable, high-energy performances that showcase an undeniable passion and innovative approach to music.

MEET THE BAND

DIBBY. Dibby brings life to the tracks through his rock, blues and jazz roots. He was the first member introduced to the group, as he instantly came to mind when talking about getting a band together to perform live. Him and Vince had grown a friendship online by recognizing and supporting each others talent. Once they connected, it was magic in the making and he became the lead guitarist of the group.

Favorite concert: Chon & Polyphia
Favorite candy: Almond Joy

NEEK. After a friend left their drum set at his house when he was 19, it took one day for Neek to decide he was going to make it his career. His roots range across neo soul, r&b, hip hop, jazz fusion and funk. He was introduced into the group by management, after connecting with him at a music studio across town. They saw his good energy, heart and talent that Vince immediately recognized in their first meeting.

Favorite concert: literally can't pick - kiss, janes addiction, the cure or the first time I saw snarky puppy
Favorite candy: his vape

ALEKS. Picking up the bass guitar at the early age of seven years old, he knew he wanted to be a performer. He was introduced to Vince by Neek after their first few months of practicing while building the group. With pop, punk and alternative roots, he brings great sound to the band (in addition to dabbling with some background vocals every now and then). His quirky personality brings a lot of energy to their live shows.

Favorite concert: Linkin Park in 2008, when they played a 90 minute encore set.
Favorite candy: blue raspberry sour patch kids

ARTI. Having a drummer as a dad, he was born into the industry. He picked up guitar early on and started experimenting with music production in high school, which led him to learn full instrumentals (including drums and bass). He started working at Guitar Center, where he met Vince when he came in for some gear. After he was invited to come to a practice, he instantly bonded with the guys and became the final piece to the puzzle as Vince's rhythm guitarist.

Favorite concert: Dream Theater & Iron Maiden when he was 10 or Monuments this past year - can't choose
Favorite candy: KitKats (will eat the bag in one sitting)
