The singer explained his process saying:

“I disappeared from the internet for a month to finally take on my number one requested song. Being away from social media was very good for me, and I highly recommend this to anybody. Maybe everyone should start producing songs in multiple styles just so they too could take a vacation from social media.”

He further added:

“When I release a video, I’ll dedicate at least that day, especially that first hour, to responding to as many comments as I can. I’ll never release something and then go do something else. If people say something to me, I gotta say something back. It’s common courtesy.”

Opening up about finding social media fame Vincent said:

“If you’re not careful, it swallows your identity. It definitely changes everything. I am what I am right now because of that day I went super-viral. I realized there was no going back about eight months into the creation of the channel.”

Besides making videos for his YouTube channel, Vincent has also started a band with a fellow YouTube musician, guitarist Erock. The pair are set to release an album as the band Riptide this month.

“Bohemian Rhapsody” is a film which chronicles the 15-year period between Queen's formation as a band and their famous performance at Live Aid at Wembley Stadium in 1985. The movie received some scathing criticism by writer and producer Bryan Fuller for not focusing on Freddie Mercury’s bisexuality.
