Background
A natural fashionista and music lover, Vinny was born on 04/18/1997, raised in the bible belt of the south. As a kid, Vinny was so creative and talented. He took interest in all kinds of arts like Interior Design, Drawing, and even fashion. But he really had a deep love for music. In Sunday school, Vinny would participate in the church choir and took piano lessons with his Sunday school teacher. He loved it; it was fun and made him happy when he created. He even started writing his own song lyrics. Even though the lyrics were questionable, it was an escape from his reality. Vinny grew up in a very restricted home and was extremely sheltered. He was homeschooled and didn’t really get out a lot. All he knew was church and home. His father was never there, as he worked a lot, and him and his mother never really got along. So Vinny lacked a lot of the attention that he craved.

Vinny’s mom basically raised him as a single parent. His dad was never home, and him mom suspected he was cheating on her, since he never gave her attention. She became very depressed and with Vinny being the only person around, she would take out a lot of her anger out on Vinny, and hindered their relationship. Not too soon later, did Vinny’s dad leave his mom for another woman.

Vinny (18yrs) decided to come out to his mom, in hopes she would be supportive and accepting. Vinny, who’s very sensitive, received a backlash of disappointment from his parents. She told Vinny that he would never amount to anything in life being gay and he would never be loved. She packed his bags and kicked him out of the house.

Vinny took his things and left. He found a group of friends that saw the potential in his artistic writing abilities. Even though Vinny lacked the confidence to believe in himself. The group motivated Vinny to write again.

Vinny was told about the City of LS, a city to make a name for himself and to pursue his career for writing and possibly making music. Vinny secured his flight to Los Santos and made the move.

Vinny, later performing "BDE", was offered a record deal with Down Bad Records, a Recording label created by Lil Cap (former Wu Chang Artist).
