His mature, operatic voice and consistently flawless performances led him to be crowned the winner of the 2009 competition.
His love affair with music began when Mr Vincent was just 9 years old. The renowned vocalist said he spent countless hours analysing performances by Mario Lanza.
"Lanza didn't just sing lyrics," he said, "he brought them to life".
"You felt every bit of his pain or you romanced in every bit of his splendour."
Since breaking into the classical music scene, Vincent has recorded and released nine albums - eight of which have reached the top of the ARIA Classical Crossover charts.
He soon dived into musical theatre and made his debut in the 2014 Australian production of Dirty Dancing.
