about
“Vyel" is the musical nom de plume of Vincent Lévêque, a Paris-based singer, musician and producer. His name comes from the English phonetic pronunciation of his initials. Born and raised in Châlons-en-Champagne, France, Vincent began playing French horn as a child, and learned guitar whilst playing in various bands during high school and college. He started to post his first covers and remixes of well-known songs on SoundCloud and YouTube in 2011. Seven years later, his cover of Coldplay’s hit “Hymn for the Weekend" featuring Sophia Omarji got more than 2,000,000 streams on Spotify and 60,000 views on YouTube. As a result of the track’s success, BOXINBOX & Lionsize, two DJs & producers from Barcelona then remixed the cover in a 4-minute trap-electro style production. Many collaborations with other artists led to the release of other covers such as "Faded”, featuring the French vocalist Emma LaChance or "The Greatest”, featuring Alissa Müller. He released many solo covers as well, like "Shape of You”, "It Ain't Me (Cloud 9)” and "Something Just Like This”. Vyel is featured on J Holland and DDRey's single "Love You Anyway”, which is his first original release with his own lyrics. Three other original singles came out later on after many collaborations, "All Over Again (Feat. Vyel)”, "Try” and "Today Is What I Live For” in 2019.
