Vincent Le’Carl Berry II (born August 1, 1985) is Grammy-nominated American singer-songwriter, composer, and record producer. Along with producer and partner Timothy "Bosky" Bullock, Berry found Press PLay, Inc (@itspressplay), a fully functioning multi-media company producing, distributing, and promoting its assets throughout the world. They have placed songs with Young Jeezy, Brittney Spears, Monica, Jeremih, Chrisette Michelle, Ashanti and Gospel Icons, James Fortune and Karen Clark Sheard, just to name a few. How do you follow up a platinum recording with Brittney Spears, a #1 R&B project with Chrisette Michelle and two Grammy nods with Karen Clark Sheard and James Fortune? You work with Kanye West and Justin Bieber. Though excited about their new ventures with juggernauts, West and Bieber, PressPlay says that they are equally excited to develop new talent. Together they have sold over 5 million records and counting, and they are just getting started. Currently, PressPlay is among the most consistently successful producers in recent years, and their accomplishments in the music industry are as diverse as they are unparalleled. This is largely because they are self- described,” non-confined” to any particular musical genre, making musical forays in Hip Hop and R&B as well as EDM, Country and Gospel music. He was born and raised on the eastside of Detroit, Michigan. He currently resides in Los Angeles. College: Morehouse College, Major: Business Administration, Concentration: Accounting
