Bio - Vincent van Hessen

It was around late September 2008, the New York City media just announced:
“global financial crisis: considered by many economists to be the worst financial crisis since the Great depression of the 1930s “.
Vincent van Hessen aka Vince was just laid off his cafe job in the lower East Side,
Strolled the streets of NYC aimlessly and out desperation called a friend on his cell,
Confirming the bad news, that indeed he had lost his day job!
The friend’s response was quite contradictory: “ Oh good! That means you’ll have to street perform now. I’ve been telling you now for 2 years to do so: make your own money in your own time and expose your musical talent. Well! now you have to…
or pack in and go back to the Netherlands”.
Vince came to NYC to explore his musical chances in the Big Apple, after many failed attempts in the Netherlands, and to make ends meet, picked up a job.
By September 2008 Vince was laid off and shortly afterwards, somewhat reluctantly became a street performer in the Subway system of NYC.
Against all odds this venture became somewhat a successful move, baring interesting fruit. And paying the rent as well.
Upon return to Europe in winter 2009, Vince had to reinvent his act,
as busking in Europe is a little different from NYC, and the initial path to growth was various Busker Festivals around the European continent such as: ‘Ferrara Busker Festival’ in Italy, ‘BuskerBus’ in Poland and Ludwigsburg Strassen Musik’ festival in Germany.

By 2010 Vince had mastered an unusual street show, performing mainly a repertoire of endless covers with a very wide variety: From Bob Marley to Johann Sebastian Bach.
From Leonard Cohen to Antonio Carlos Jobim. In which the guitar plays a prominent role.
Busking around the European continent brought Vince into contact with so many people, that he ended up doing shows in festivals in Mexico, shows in Thailand, a cruise ship tour on the ‘Viking Line’ and last but not least: three participations at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Italy. One of the most prestigious jazz festivals on the globe.
After being “discovered” by the festival’s organizer during a busking show in Perugia Italy in the summer of 2015,

Vince is as of now still going strong, busking, gigging, as a YouTube partner and many more.
Come share his musical adventure, should you wish.
