Vincent's background in music began at an early age, growing up in a house where music was always played live. His sound can be described as a mix of indie folk, soft rock with a touch of R&B. In "If You Leave," he leans more towards the blues and R&B, creating a unique sound that is both exciting and artistic.
“If You Leave” is a soulful ballad about loving someone in a toxic relationship and accepting whatever decision they make. It portrays the struggle of being in love with someone who no longer reciprocates those feelings yet still being unable to let go.

The process of writing and producing the song was a challenging aspect for Vincent, but he persevered to create a masterpiece that captures the essence of his artistry.
The album cover art, created by Vincent Eco himself, is a beautiful depiction of the song's emotional theme. The black and white artwork captures a flowing water scene, representing the ebb and flow of emotions and the complexities of love and heartbreak.

So mark your calendars and get ready to be swept away by Vincent Eco's new single "If You Leave", a soulful masterpiece that will captivate your senses and leave you craving for more. Set to drop on May 5th, 2023!
The unassuming candor in the songs written by Vincent Eco continues to raise the bar for an unplugged soulful alternative in Cebu. Vincent’s advantage being a folk-rock artist lies in his encounters with music during his youth. He learned the ropes behind songwriting at such an early age. Growing up having a jazz artist for a father, it was natural for the singer to cultivate a soft spot for music in a house where it was always played live. Eco recalls he was only 12 when his sister first strummed a guitar in front of him and he thought it worked “like magic.”
These learnings from home, coupled with the influences of Bob Dylan, Damien Rice, and Glen Hansard, sparked his pursuit of songwriting, which always emerged with the melody first before the lyrics. “If my songs can become a part of people’s lives, that would be awesome,” quips Vincent. To date, Vincent can play the guitar, bass, drums, piano, ukulele, and harmonica–and we’re sure it won’t stop there.
He continues to share his heartfelt (or better yet, heart-wrenching) compositions, which, have magnetized local audiences with his debut album, “Kiss and Disappear” released in 2018. His single “Ikaw Ang Gihigugma” is his latest release.
