Vicu is a Maryland based electro/pop artist who has made a name for himself with a loud sonic boom. As a self-taught producer, audio engineer and songwriter, Vicu’s music features rhythmic pop sounds and fresh, modern-edge songwriting. Originally from Romania, Vicu was adopted at a young age and brought up in a family of both musicians and lovers of music. Constantly surrounded by a diversity of sounds, he knew at just 14 years old that he wanted to pursue a career in music. Known for his smooth, flawless vocals, stunning, sleek production and honest songwriting about mess ups, makeups and everything in between, Vicu draws in the hopeless romantic inside of us all. His passion and fervor captivates his listeners, keeping you in his grasp.

His latest single “Focused On You” beams with romantic guitar loops rippling over a rhythmic bass tracing the beat of R&B high hats. The song has a dreamy, floating soundscape that is polished by a tight beat and a slightly muffled, rocking grit, along with a background of dancing electric solos. The track is both freeing and intimate, radiating summer energy, sunset vibes and amorous feelings. The single bodes a message from Vicu to ensure his lover knows they’re his top priority.

Vicu explains that the single is his interpretation of what summer love feels like, sharing, “I want the listener to be able to roll the top down and take their girlfriend or boyfriend on the adventure of a lifetime.” Taking influence from the likes of Justin Bieber, Bazzi, Bruno Mars and Drake, Vicu hopes to follow a similar path of merging both the R&B and pop worlds.

Explaining how music for him is a form of therapy, Vicu wants to inspire others to pursue what they love and discover what truly brings them happiness. Having garnered over half a million streams for his music thus far, Vicu is quickly becoming an artist on the rise. “Focused On You” is currently available worldwide.

Have you always wanted to be a musician? When did you get the song writing bug?
Its been in me since i was very young. ive always loved to build things and take things apart and put them back together as well as always had a huge love for music so those things led to me creating music. im a sensitive guy so i feel things alot and i think that led me to songwriting early on. just another way to express my emotions.

How would you describe your sound? Why do you think people resonate with your music?
I think for me the best word would be “storytelling”. ive always loved musical thearter growing up as well as 90s RnB and have always loved 80s vibes as well. i think all those things really tell the story and capture emotion on another level sometimes strait up pop music doesnt.

Which artist’s music and/or performance, past or present, inspires you today?
Michael Jackson, Chris brown, boys to men, new edition, Tone Stith, H.E.R , Bruno Mars, justin bieber ect…

Your new single/ has just been released/! Describe its origin and evolution.
I wanted to create a song that really captured how i am and what im feeling during those first couple months really falling in love with somebody. my go to for insperation was “sunsets” i feel like theres something about sunsets that really convey emotion and gives you a warm hug in a way so i wanted to get that feeling across with this record.

Is there an EP or Album on the drawing board?
Yes i am currently working on my debut album as well as a Christmas EP at the moment which im really excited for everybody to hear!
