Never before had Kym Vincenti played the guitar, but during the pandemic, she decided to give it a try when she found a guitar her ex-boyfriend had left laying about.

During the lockdown, 60-year-old Vincenti, a ghostwriter by profession, began practicing the guitar using simple fingering charts to teach herself the chord positions. She ended up being a natural at it.

While most of the people were on their nerve’s end during the lockdown, Vincenti took to music and gained confidence in her art as the months progressed. She soon began writing songs and composing music for it.

Eager to get feedback about her newfound art, she uploaded videos of herself performing on social media. She received a lot of positive responses which inspired her and then, there was no looking back.

For two years she played on and off and then Dutch Van Spell who runs Big Help Music was Impressed by her music and contacted her, Spell invited her to his record studio where they recorded one of her songs, and to her pleasant surprise, she was offered a record deal.

Encouraged by this deal, she has been making more music and releasing it across multiple platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, Soundcloud, and Amazon Music. Some of her songs even featured in the top 10 and top 20 of popular charts.

Vincenti is loving every bit of her new career. She states that at her age, it feels strange recording songs and working on new projects, but it has been a whirlwind of a journey and she is enjoying every moment of it.
