Aside from being the lead singer of Pierce the Veil, Vic Fuentes is also the group's primary songwriter. Singing his own lyrics helps him connect with the song and deliver a passionate performance.
Vic Fuentes started writing music by accident. He wrote his first song with friends at a party, and instantly knew it was something he wanted to keep doing. The feeling of making something real, he explained, was almost like a sort of drug.
