SoundClick artist: Vincent Knobil - Franglophone songwriter extraordinaire.

In a nutshell, I’m French and American, I’ve lived in Paris, London, Brussels and New York, and I’ve been creating unusual musical entertainment since before you were born.

Why this name?

I picked Vincent Knobil because it's such an improbable name. It also happens to be my name.

Do you play live?

In my boudoir mostly.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Hopefully, it will destroy it. I know I'm doing my part.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Only if the dismal commercial failure of my album was sure to sink them.

Band History:

Check out the nice bio on my site and travel to Brussels, New York, Paris and the Web.

Frank Zappa, Robert Wyatt, Carla Bley, David Byrne/Talking Heads, B-52's, Serge Gainsbourg, Divine Comedy, Kurt Weill, Nino Rota, The Residents, Renaldo and the Loaf, Snakefinger, Tuxedomoon, Aksaq Maboul, Matt Love, Remote Possibility

Favorite spot?

The aforementioned boudoir.

Equipment used:

My brain, my heart, my soul (metaphorically speaking), my voice, my hands, augmented by Macs and various musical instruments.

Anything else...?

Stop buying shit. It destroys the planet.
