A southwestern, rugged, piano-playing free spirit, Vince Alten made his way to Nashville with his Stetson, his piano, and a dream.

Vince spent nearly eight years in the United States Air Force, beginning his adult life learning and practicing the skills of an air traffic controller and dabbling in music along the way. However his passion for music stems back to his childhood years in New Mexico, where Vince spent his youth singing around a piano alongside his musically-talented family members, learning to play by ear and singing in the local choir. This intimate bond of happiness and amusement that Vince was able to create when entertaining others was the spark that lit the fire to his music career, a spark that he carries today with every performance.
