They are best known as a finalist on the first season of the singing competition The Four. They released their debut EP, The Feeling on February 14, 2020.

Early life and education

[edit | edit source]

Vincint Cannady was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Their father was a gospel singer in a group called the Christ United Gospel Singers, and Vincint began singing at the age of five.[4] They were shy about singing as a child, but their father took them to audition for an all-boys choir audition when they were seven to nurture their interest. Cannady also wrote their first song when they were twelve.[5] Vincint was raised Baptist but attended Catholic school growing up.[6] They named Beyoncé, Whitney Houston, Céline Dion, Madonna, Britney Spears, Bjork, and Regina Spektor as early inspirations.[4]

They attended college at Berklee College of Music and graduated in 2013.[7]

2018–2020: The Four and The Feeling

[edit | edit source]

Vincint appeared on the first season of The Four one week before the finale, where they received unanimous "yes" votes from every judge after performing "Creep" by Radiohead.[8] They stated in an interview that producers attempted to persuade them to sing gospel and R&B music due to their race, and some male producers refused to work with them.[9] Vincint was eliminated in the first round of the finale competition along with contestant Zhavia Ward.[8]

They released three singles in 2018: "Remember Me", "Mine", and "Marrow", which was their debut single.[10][11][6] They released a music video for "Marrow" on February 8, 2018.[6] The video was directed by Jake Wilson and shot in a church in North Hollywood, in an homage to Cannady's upbringing in Catholic school.[6] The latter two singles were produced by Pretty Sister.[11] Their singing style ranges from belting to whispery falsetto.[12] They characterize their genre of music as pop.[5]

On April 5, 2019, Cannady premiered a music video for the single "Please Don't Fall in Love", directed by Jasper Soloff.[13] They released their debut EP, The Feeling, on February 14, 2020.[14] Vincint's song, "Be Me", was selected as the anthem of the fifth season of Queer Eye.[15] They also released the lead single from their debut album, "Hard 2 Forget".

2021–present: There Will Be Tears and The Getaway Tour

[edit | edit source]

On May 28, 2021, they released the single "Kill My Heart", featuring Parson James and Qveen Herby.[16] They released the second single "Getaway", featuring Tegan and Sara, on June 9.[17] Cannady released their debut album There Will Be Tears on June 11, 2021. Ari Shapiro of All Things Considered referred to the album as "vulnerable and danceable".[18][19] The Getaway Tour is Cannady's debut concert tour, in support of their debut studio album, There Will Be Tears. The tour was originally set to run from January 12 to 30, 2022, but was rescheduled due to COVID-19.[20] Vincint announced the rescheduled dates of The Getaway Tour, which ran from May 5 to 29, 2022.[21] They performed the song "Mission" on the Love, Victor season three soundtrack, which was released on June 15, 2022.[22]
