Country music has found itself a new prince charming in the 25-year old Georgia-born singer-songwriter, Vincent Mason.
Mason has quickly made his mark on country in the year since he released his debut album, There I Go. The album launched his career with the singles “Hell Is a Dance Floor” and “Damned If I Do.” Now, he’s entered a new chapter with his latest single, “What You Want.”
Music wasn’t always in the cards for Mason. When the pandemic hit, the singer was studying at Ole Miss and found his way to songwriting. With the support of his parents — and some inspiration from artists like Koe Wetzel, Parker McCollum, Chris Stapleton and Eric Church — he decided to pursue songwriting full-time, transferring to Lipscomb University in Nashville.
“I moved to Nashville because I knew that’s where country music got made. I learned how the town worked, and I loved Nashville artists,” Mason tells The Hollywood Reporter on a recent Zoom. By 2024, he had landed a record deal with Interscope Records. Now, just two years later, he’s opening for Parker McCollum and Morgan Wallen.
“I don’t know if it ever really feels normal,” Mason says. “I remember the first time I opened for Parker McCollum thinking, ‘Oh my God, this is crazy.’ He and John Mayer were the reason I started making songs.”
