Carl Vincent graduated in composition from Leeds University in 2003 having studied with Professor Philip Wilby.

More recently he was asked by Black Dyke Band to compose a work for the European Brass Band Championships in Belfast in 2006. A Night at the Movies was the result and used the chariot race sequence from the silent film Ben Hur (1926) back-projected as the band played the score Also in 2006 his Adagio for Strings was premiered at the Grassington Festival by the Yorkshire Chamber Orchestra, conducted by John Anderson, with a subsequent performance in the Venue at Leeds College of Music a few months later.
