We caught up with YouTube extraordinaire Anthony Vincent, talking all about Ten Second Songs, reactions, and his new original music.
From discovering metal through Bush, Nirvana and Metallica, to building one of the most recognisable music channels online, Anthony speaks about how YouTube has changed since 2014, why viral success never lasts forever, and how artists can survive without chasing validation from the algorithm.
He also talks about his original songs “Wheel” and “Into A Nightmare”, working with producer Joey Izzo of Arch Echo, the pressure on bands to become content creators, the impact of AI on music, and why the craft still has to come first.
