Songwriting is a magical process. You wait for inspiration to hit \u2014 and when it does, you milk it for all it\u2019s worth. Deco\u2019s Alex Miranda is singing the praises of an up-and-coming artist whose talent for a tune sets him apart from the crowd.<\/p>\n
Some people are just born to write songs. At Miami\u2019s Circle Studios, we caught up with an inspired local musician who talked about growing as a songwriter \u2014 and the importance of wearing bow-ties.<\/p>\n
Twenty-year-old Vince Montage may be young, but he\u2019s been a musician for a long time.<\/p>\n
Vince Montage: \u201cSo I started recording songs at 13. Before that, I played a lot of different sports, and then when I got to that age, I started getting interested in doing features with other artists, but I never made a song before.\u201d<\/p>\n
He was just a kid, working off instinct.<\/p>\n
Vince Montage: \u201cI didn\u2019t really know what I was doing. I just kinda started putting stuff in my notes, singing a little bit, just trying things out, and it kinda took off from there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now that he\u2019s grown up, his way of working has changed.<\/p>\n
Vince Montage: \u201cTo me, music is always about feeling, so I start with the melody first, then once I have a kind of skeleton of the song, then I\u2019ll go in and write words and stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vince does all of his writing at the piano. The songs basically come fully developed to him.<\/p>\n
Vince Montage: \u201cI think once I have the first idea, I can kinda see the whole song already done, like all the arrangement, everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
He calls his style heartbreak pop.<\/p>\n
The Miami resident thinks there\u2019s plenty of room for his sound in the local music scene.<\/p>\n
Vince Montage: \u201cMiami is such a populated place. Every style has its place in the culture.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vince is looking forward to getting up off his piano bench and hitting the stage.<\/p>\n
Vince Montage: \u201cI took some time off to kinda define my sound, but now that I\u2019m back dropping and stuff, I want to get back into performing.\u201d<\/p>\n
There was only one more question to ask the talented young man. Why the bow tie?<\/p>\n
Vince Montage: \u201cIf you\u2019re gonna walk around with a bow tie, you gotta have a lot of confidence. I\u2019m free to express myself however I want in the way that I want.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vince compares wearing a bow-tie to a superhero wearing a costume. Once he puts it on, it\u2019s like Clark Kent becoming Superman.<\/p>\n
