Vincent Niclo (born in Paris on 6 January 1975) is a French light pop tenor singer.
Vincent Niclo comes from a family of artists and was interested in theatre and took courses at the Cours Florent acting school particularly with Raymond Acquaviva. He also followed courses at Simon, trained at Actor Studio, and studied modern dance.
His first role in theatre was in Renaître à Bogota, a play by Marthe Vandenberg. He also acted in a number of television films and series like Sous le soleil, Extrême Limite, Nestor Burma and a role in cinema in Place Vendôme directed by Nicole Garcia.
After meeting Thierry Dran at the Paris Opera, he furthered his singing techniques and ended with a role in the musical Titanic in its French version where he played Jim Farrel, followed by other roles in musicals Tristan and Iseult playing Tristan, double roles as Romeo in Roméo et Juliette, de la Haine à l'Amour and as Rhett Butler in Autant en emporte le vent.

Returning to classic music, he sang with Red Army Choir - MVD Ensemble, the official academic ensemble under the Ministry of the Interior. After Vincent Niclo met the ensemble officials in Moscow, MVD director General Eliseev invited him to join the tour project, for all Red Army Choir in the French leg of the tour in March 2012.
