The Singer-Songwriter who began his career in Paris at the famous cabaret Le Port du Salut, with Coluche,  has a special passion for taking his music to every corner of the globe, and, as the world press affirms,  he is probably one of the best contemporary French Singer-songwriter, in the pure tradition of la chanson française, in the line of Jacques Brel, Claude Nougaro, Georges Brassens, Georges Moustaki...

His parisian life begins by singing in the cabarets rive gauche and by opening shows with French Stars like Johnny Hallyday, Charles Aznavour, Gilbert Bécaud, etc... on tour in the country. Then a few years later, he is hired for a concert-tour in the Indian Ocean Islands: Madagascar, Mauritius, La Réunion, les Comores... This tour turns out to be such a success that he becomes a big star in this part of the world  and it’s the beginning of an amazing international career… Today,  Eric VINCENT has appeared on marquees in more than 140 countries...
