Vincent L. Mason (born November 10, 2000) is an American country music singer-songwriter and guitarist. He gained widespread attention in 2024 with his breakout single "Hell Is a Dance Floor". He released his debut studio album, There I Go, in 2025 featuring his debut radio single "Wish You Well" and viral song "Damned If I Do".
Early life
Mason grew up north of Atlanta, in Roswell, Georgia.[3] His mother exposed him to pop and singer-songwriter music including Maroon 5, Jack Johnson, and John Mayer. He was eventually intrigued by country and modern country-rock sounds which blends country storytelling and soulful/pop-rock sensibilities.[4] While attending King's Ridge Christian School in Alpharetta, Georgia, he was given his first guitar during his sophomore year and as a senior, he was taking music more seriously.[5][6]
He attended the University of Mississippi in Oxford, where he began writing original songs and transferred to Lipscomb University in Nashville to study music.[7][8] When the COVID-19 pandemic shut down in-person classes, he focused heavily on songwriting and started posting original songs online.[9]
