THE BAND

ABOUT

Vince Nerone is a unique singer, songwriter from Cleveland, OH. His music is inspired by a composition of pop-punk rock and emo-rap/hip hop, providing a rather unparalleled style of tracks. 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.

His latest album is an eleven track project titled “Hurts More Thinking About It”, which focuses on mental health and sheds light on the relatable rollercoaster of emotions life can bring. In the last year, he has also put together a four person band for live performances and they most recently won the 2022 "Battle of the Land" competition put on by iHeart Radio.

The accompanying band members include: Neek on drums, Dibby on electric guitar, Arti on rhythm guitar and Aleks on bass guitar.

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 instant 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 before Neek decided 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, talent and heart that Vince instantly 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 a few months of practicing and 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).

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 chords. After coming to a practice, he instantly connected with the guys and became the final piece to the puzzle as 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)
