Vincent Minor will delight and confound you. While his giddy production style suggests a wide-eyed wonderland, his darkly humorous wordsmithery tells some mighty unsavory tales. He casually melts together modern indie pop and classic Tin Pan Alley songcraft like he has the last 100 years of songwriting on speed dial. Vincent Minor’s songs set the toes tapping and the cortex wrinkling simultaneously.
If Vincent Minor’s compulsive listenability is impossible to pin down, it all fits with the storybook saga of its creator, the singer/songwriter originally known as Michael Mangia. The LA native has lived a series of unlikelihoods and improbabilities, starting with his birth in a bathtub (spitting distance from where Bobby Kennedy was shot), and eventually working towards LA Lords, the gay speed-dating company that Minor founded to help gay friends get a leg up on their love lives and give back to the gay & lesbian community.
At various points in between, Minor went to school with the kid from The Neverending Story, studied piano and voice with Beck’s mother, worked as a child actor in the cutthroat world of children’s TV and started a record label called Social Science Recordings, home to LA indie darling Obi Best. Minor’s career as a singer/songwriter has been equally nomadic, bringing him from swank Nashville recording studios to European concert halls, then back to the seedy splendor of his homeland.
