Vie has been playing music pretty much all of his life. He started on drums at age 5,
went to trumpet at 10, piano at 11, and guitar/songwriting by the age of 12. Over the years Vie has not only played in original rock and top-40 bands, but also in jazz bands, concert bands and wind ensembles as well. In the mid 90's he spent several years touring the Western U.S. with a top-40 band before taking two years off to go back to college to study computer programming. In 1999 Vie started an original band with guitarist Yannik Morales called Panic. The band had some noteworthy success with the lead song on the Solano Pulse CD (A benefit CD put out by Solano County Ca.) and also a song on the Enuff Znuff Tribute CD put out by Dreamland Discs. In December of 2002 Vie joined the worship team at Faith Community Church, which eventually lead him to writing and playing music for the Lord. Although Vie accepted Christ at a very young age, he believes that it was not until this point that he was fully in God's will, using his gifts to glorify our Lord.
