‘When I did an interview with Strange Music they described it as trojan horsing the
mainstream.’ – Anthony Vincent, Ten Second Songs
He is taking the Internet, particularly YouTube by storm and
music fans genuinely love him. I am talking about ANTHONY VINCENT whose unique version of KATY PERRY’s “Dark Horse”
received a lot of praise. This video was meant to advertise his business, this
video took on a life of it’s own and went viral. So what made this video so successful?
“I think it was because it was something that no one else
had seen before.” Anthony says. “Usually
when you see something unique on YouTube you have the biters [people who want
to copy it] but I haven’t seen that maybe because it’s so unique to me.”
As you can see in the video there are a lot of different
artist styles featured in this video; from the brutally heavy PANTERA to easy listening Jazz legend FRANK SINATRA this unique cover of ‘Dark Horse’ certainly covered a lot of
the music spectrum.
“I jotted down the artists in literally five minutes” Anthony explains “At the top of my head
just jotted them down because that’s really my span of influence. Not only is
it the kind of music I enjoy but also the kind of music I do with custom songs,
which I’ve done for over a year now.”
Since then he has released a brand new cover of JASON DERULO’s 'Talk Dirty To Me' that features more diverse artists including Disco
icons BEE GEES to Metal giants SLAYER. When speaking of his methods of
future methods the analogy that came from his lips was quite genius:
“When I did an interview with Strange Music they described it as trojan horsing the mainstream” Anthony enlightens “You take a song
from the top ten chart and you use that song to show people all these different
artists that people aren’t getting enough of or don’t know about. For example
you have a pop song sung in the style of NIRVANA,
people then want to go and listen to NIRVANA.“
All I can say from this is be sure you keep your eyes peeled
for this talented vocalist.
