  • Vince Montage TALKS SoundCloud, Queen + “Fleeting” | JTWJE EP #432

    Vince Montage TALKS SoundCloud, Queen + “Fleeting” | JTWJE EP #432

    It is a privilege to welcome recording artist Vince Montage to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

    At just 20 years old, Vince has already written over 500 songs and collaborated with heavyweights like Polo G and Scott Storch (Credits include 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, and Beyoncé), but nothing he's made has been quite like this. On May 8th, he released "Fleeting," his debut single and the opening statement of a bold new era. Raw, introspective, and unflinchingly honest, the track confronts the emotional weight of impermanence in love and in the versions of ourselves we can't hold onto. “Fleeting” explores the ache of emotions that are impossible to hold onto: the moments, relationships, and feelings that slip away just as quickly as they arrive.

    Written during a period of rapid personal change, the song reflects Vince’s desire to return to moments in time and the complexity of feeling deeply for something temporary. Vince’s new era is marked by a desire for authenticity and emotional honesty, as he reminisces about moments that slip away as quickly as they appear. Vince’s creative process stems from internal dialogue combined with a distinct talent for identifying complementary melodies.

    In the case of “Fleeting,” the melody came long before the final production, allowing the emotion of the record to take center stage. The track was produced by Pacific, with Vince operating as a co-producer alongside his longtime collaborator, Grammy Award-winning producer-engineer Mixx, with whom he has worked since his early teens and has collaborated with the likes of Teyana Taylor and French Montana. Together, the duo has crafted a soundscape that balances subtle percussion with emotional intensity.

    For Vince, authenticity is everything – “If you can reach a lot of people, you can have a big impact on other people’s lives in a bunch of different ways.” Vince Montage’s musical focus has now shifted from creating music that is an extension of pop culture to creating music rooted in authenticity. “When you’re making music for the purpose of trying to catch a trend, you can make a song that becomes a hit, but it's not going to influence people in the same way that making music from your own personal experience does.” Originally from Columbus and now based in Miami, Vince began his music journey at just 13 years old.

    What began as a creative desire to collaborate with creatives Vince admired on SoundCloud quickly evolved into a legitimate, all-encompassing career and relentless creative pursuit for Vince, culminating in collaborations with influential artists. Over the past seven years, he’s worked to refine an innovative style unique to him but shaped by influences ranging from some of his favorites: From Prince to Queen to contemporary innovator, Mk. Gee.

    On this edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Vince Montage spoke about how SoundCloud has helped him, the stories behind his most-streamed Spotify songs, including “Light Switch,” “Back 2 U” – his collaboration with Karri, and “Stuck in this Mood” with Polo G.
