Vincent Manzullo of Los Angeles on Life, Lessons & Legacy

We recently had the chance to connect with Vincent Manzullo and have shared our conversation below.

Good morning Vincent , we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: Who are you learning from right now?
My parents.

Chadwick Stokes.

Kenneth Lonergan.

Society.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Vincent Manzullo.

I am a Musical Artist from New Jersey currently based in Los Angeles.

My work is lyrically driven and preaches values such as unity and world peace.

My work is reflective towards self and society.

What is unique about myself and brand is that I am fully aware of the modern day hardships that musicians face in building their careers. I have greater intentions and seek to make change.

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who taught you the most about work?
My family.

Myself.

My peers.

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
Don’t be influenced by what others think is best for you. You are still growing, learning and evolving. Only you know what you think is best for you. If you don’t know it at a younger age, one day you will know.

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yea for sure. In a world where everyone has access to make all kinds of digital content at their fingertips, I remain me.

The raw sound to my music and lyrics is on purpose. What do I have to hide during this journey?

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
That’s what I do every single time I make a new record or write a new piece of material.

I do not need anyone to validate my art. I give everything I have in context to the art that I can create.

I do not need validation but I deserve it. I deserve it so that others have a reference point to believe in.
