Vincent Riverside was born and raised in California. Compelled by the arts as a child after seeing KISS perform the night Elvis Presley died, he began his pursuit of being a professional artist when he left home at the age of 17. Growing tired of waiting around for community theatre productions, he decided to try his hand at Rock & Roll as a more expedient art form. Thus began a 13-year, four-album career in music culminating as frontman for the acclaimed band, Gasoline.

In 1997, Vincent decided to return to his first love…acting. He has since appeared in major motion pictures, television and stage. He has supporting roles in the 2000 Sundance Film Festival smash-hit, Groove, which was released internationally by Sony Pictures Classis, Sony Pictures The Masters of Disguise alongside Dana Carvey, Hold On with Melissa Joan Hart and Danny Masterson, Lions Gate Film’s Fast Sofa, HBO’s Reciproque, Spike Lee’s Academy Award commercial campaign and most recently alongside Billy Baldwin in the soon to be released film, Park. Vincent also co-starred in the Hallmark Movie of the Week, Jane Doe, with Lea Thompson and in a cameo as Elvis alongside Florence Henderson in the TV movie For Heaven’s Sake. Television has seen him in numerous music videos as well as guest starring roles on shows such as NYPD Blue and Fastlane.

Vincent Riverside is the founder and company director of the Street School Artist Collective and Tramp Art Theatre Club. Founded in 1999 with chapters in both San Francisco and Los Angeles, the SSAC/TATC operates in the mediums of both stage and film. With the SSAC/TATC Vincent has written, directed and performed in original works up and down the west Coast.
