Biography
Ingala was born in Prospect, Connecticut to Italian parents. At age four, he started playing the drums when his parents bought him a drum set; as he got older he learned to play the guitar (he took lessons for about 9 months) and later the saxophone.[1] As a teenager, he played at local restaurants and clubs. His father was a disc jockey, and so Vincent was introduced to many different styles of music, including music from the 1950s and also smooth jazz.[2]
His debut album North End Soul, released in 2010, featured smooth jazz and R&B tracks played on the saxophone, guitar, and piano. At seventeen years old, Ingala did the recording, composing and producing for the album.[3] The song "It Is What It Is" peaked at No. 14 on Billboard's Smooth Jazz Songs.
Ingala's second album Can't Stop Now (released 2012) features keyboardist Gregg Karukas and pianist Jonathan Fritzén. He wrote or co-wrote seven of the album's tracks, and programmed and composed the album.[4] Can't Stop Now peaked at No. 28 on the Billboard Jazz Albums.[5] It also reached No. 15 on SmoothJazz.com's Year End 2014 Top 50 Albums, and had 5 songs place in the top 10 on Billboard's Smooth Jazz Songs, including "Wish I Was There" at No. 1.
His next release was Coast to Coast (released 2015). The album name reflects his move from the east coast (Connecticut) to the west coast (Long Beach, California). Ingala did the programming, composing, producing and vocals for the album. The album peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Jazz Albums,[5] and placed at No. 5 on the SmoothJazz.com's 2015 Top 50 Year End Chart.[6] "When I'm With You" and "Coast To Coast" both peaked at No. 1 on Billboard's Smooth Jazz Songs.
His fourth album was Christmas, released in 2016. Guest artists of the album include Ariana Savalas and Steve Oliver.[7] It features smooth jazz renditions of several Christmas songs played on the saxophone, piano and guitar. Ingala performs the majority of the vocals.[8]
