His father is a deacon and his mother studied theology. Gross was born and grew up in Switzerland. He already showed musical talent as a child. At the age of four, he played the ukulele and used cooking pots as drums. He continued his musical education with lute lessons and in the children&#8217;s church choir. As a teenager, he learned his first chords on the guitar from his brother. <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/musiknerd.org\/en\/musical-instruments\/guitar\/\" title=\"Guitar\">guitar<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. Parallel to his musical training, he attended a sports high school, trained in taekwondo for 13 years and became a Swiss champion, earning two black belts.       <\/p>\n\n<p>Alongside his musical career, the 1.77-metre-tall Vincent began studying psychology at the University of Basel, but dropped out after three semesters. He initially shied away from showing his music to his friends and instead posted it on YouTube under a pseudonym. The positive reactions motivated him to take part in the <strong>Swiss Talent Award<\/strong> in 2014. In 2015, he was voted Newcomer of the Year by the audience of the TV show <em>Hello Again<\/em>.   <\/p>\n\n<p>In 2016, he took part in the Swiss preliminary round of the Eurovision Song Contest with the song <em>Half a Smile<\/em> and came third. In the same year, Gross signed his first record deal with Ariola\/Sony Music Germany. His debut album <em>R\u00fcckenwind<\/em> was released in March 2017 and marked the start of his career. The second album <em>M\u00f6wengold<\/em> followed in August 2018, which took him on an extensive tour of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. His singles <em>Dieser Beat<\/em> and <em>Nordlichter<\/em> achieved excellent positions in the German airplay charts, with <em>Nordlichter<\/em> topping the charts for seven weeks.    <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker brlbs-cmpnt-with-individual-styles\" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id=\"youtube-content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-content=\"PGlmcmFtZSB0aXRsZT0iVmluY2VudCBHcm9zcyAtIFLDvGNrZW53aW5kIiB3aWR0aD0iODAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQ1MCIgc3JjPSJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLW5vY29va2llLmNvbS9lbWJlZC95Q0lsWEJHZ08ydz9mZWF0dXJlPW9lbWJlZCIgZnJhbWVib3JkZXI9IjAiIGFsbG93PSJhY2NlbGVyb21ldGVyOyBhdXRvcGxheTsgY2xpcGJvYXJkLXdyaXRlOyBlbmNyeXB0ZWQtbWVkaWE7IGd5cm9zY29wZTsgcGljdHVyZS1pbi1waWN0dXJlOyB3ZWItc2hhcmUiIHJlZmVycmVycG9saWN5PSJzdHJpY3Qtb3JpZ2luLXdoZW4tY3Jvc3Mtb3JpZ2luIiBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4+PC9pZnJhbWU+\"><div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-preset-c brlbs-cmpnt-cb-youtube\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-thumbnail\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/musiknerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/borlabs-cookie\/1\/yt_yCIlXBGgO2w_hqdefault.jpg')\"><\/div> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-main\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-play-button\"><\/div> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-content\"> <p class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-description\">You are currently viewing a placeholder content from <strong>YouTube<\/strong>.
