Vincent Rocco (born March 10, 1967) is an American musician, recording artist, singer, and songwriter.

Rocco was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He grew up in Scotland and South Africa.

Rocco's first album, "Hell or Highwater", was released in 1992 by Elektra Records. The album was called a "tasteful blend of soul and blues."

Hell or Highwater featured collaborations with John Shanks (Melissa Etheridge band) and Scott F. Crago (The Eagles) and was produced by Mark McKenna.

In 1999 Rocco formed the band Multiplug and recorded the album Oswald Road, which was released in 2000 by Interscope Records.

The album has been called "more like a solo project for lead singer and songwriter Vincent Rocco" by numerous outlets and included a "promising collection of ten modern rock anthems." Steve Huey of All Music Guide wrote that Multiplug's Oswald Road "blends smart songwriting with melodic guitar rock."

Oswald Road was produced by Marc Waterman, well known for his work with popular British bands such as Ash and Elastica.
