About Vince Costa
About MeCreativity, Inspiration and Expression I believe, are spiritual facets of the human condition.Music has been an integral part of my life. I grew up sitting in front of an old Phillips LP player listening to my dad's records.In my teen years, I spent every rupee of my pocket money on cassettes, discovering new sounds and bands. Now I find myself downloading or streaming music off the net for close to nothing!The way music is being delivered has changed however its relevance to me still remains the same - priceless.After a long hiatus from the music scene (first as a DJ and then an audio engineer) I find myself back in the game, this time as a songwriter/singer. The last few years have inspired me to write and after many scraps of paper and some scribbles, this song came about.I've been fortunate to be able to pursue my passion, travel to concerts, listen to and meet some very creative people in Goa and abroad.Goa is a glorious place with an abundance of musicians. I come from a musically rich village of Curtorim, home to some of the contributors of the infamous Goan Mandos. I truly believe that we have the potential to create world class acts, but we must have the courage to leave the safe shores of "covers" and journey into originality.It's the time to collaborate, ideate, share and come together with one loud voice. Music has the power to inspire, unify and bring change. Best of all it’s free for all to create, use and participate.
