Vincent grew up in Queens, N.Y. with a Dad who was a television repairman and musician and, a Mom who was a Registered nurse. Music was very prevalent in the "Bryant" household with almost every family member playing a musical instrument. They grew up with a rehearsal / recording studio in the basement, Vincent was destined to take his craft to many levels. His family moved from Queens to rural Sheldon, South Carolina "the sticks". The transition was a very unique one. It was a serous kidney infection at age 11 that caused him to be tutored at home. It was then after his mother signed him up in the Queens branch library 'FILM CLUB" that he fell in love with film. He honed his piano playing and amazingly at such a young age with his creative imagination taught himself how to score movies, by turning the sound off of the television and playing along with it. His dad owned a super 8 movie camera they were allowed to play with from time to time, but music "ruled" in their household. He and his brothers started a band at the age of 14 and played locally. Starting the first interracial band, in the greater Beaufort S.C. area.

His parents were very strict and insisted that television was not to be played during the school week. His mom called it "the dummy box". Vincent knew in his heart and mind that his ultimate goal when he got into film was to change the perceptions and create meaningful stories about "African Americans" in the media.
