Grammy nominated songwriter & composer
Grammy & Golden Globe & nominated composer and songwriter Vince DiCola is an Italian American platinum selling artist. He co-composed eight songs for the John Travolta starring and Sylvester Stallone directed film, STAYING ALIVE in 1983. DiCola and co-composer Frank Stallone received a Grammy nomination for their work on STAYING ALIVE in the category of Best Album of Original Score written for a Motion Picture or Television Special. Vince was also nominated for a Golden Globe for the song, "Far From Over".

In 1985, Vince's soundtrack to ROCKY IV went platinum with over one million copies sold. Vince's cues from this classic selling soundtrack have been used in radio spots, TV commercials, sports programs, other outlets as well as everyone's workout playlist for over three decades.

One year later DiCola had another hit with THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE soundtrack, which included cues from his score as well as the popular song "Dare". For many years Vince has been hearing, "You scored my childhood" from adults who were kids in the 80's. A few years ago, Intrada Records released expanded scores for ROCKY IV & THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE.

Vince continues to work and most recently has worked on several hit video games with his colleague Kenny Meriedeth including 'Angry Birds Transformers', 'Transformers Devastation', 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' to name a few.

In 2018, DiCola put on a very well attended concert of his film and TV work as well as other songs he's composed at the world famous Whiskey A Go-Go venue on the legendary Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. People flew in from all over the world to attend this special concert, which also featured Cody Carpenter on keyboard. Vince also enjoys guest performing with bands on their own albums. In July of this year, Vince will be a guest at Andy McKee's Musicarium in Petaluma, CA. Vince will be honored at the 13th Annual Fimucité festival in the Canary Islands in September & will be teaching master classes there as well. For fans of his music, you'll be treated to the ROCKY IV world premiere suite at Fimucité!

Now in 2021 Vince is busier than ever before with several new games, an exciting new Movie & TV series from the NRCity Universe and much more!
