with a television repairman / musician father Joseph Bryant Jr. and a registered nurse mother Pearl McClendon-Bryant . With Brothers , Chuck on drums and Yosayf on bass and a rehearsal / recording studio in the basement they were exposed to so many styles and types of music he was destined to take his craft to so many levels. After contracting NEPHRITIS at age 11 , he was quarantined AND TUTORED A
T HOME FOR THE ENTIRE FIFTH GRADE. He began taking classical piano lessons from GLORIA JACKSON in St. Albans and blues and jazz piano lessons at home from his father Joseph. His mother Pearl signed him up in the Jamaica Branch Queens library 'FILM CLUB" where he fell in love with "The Red Balloon" by Albert Lamorisse and thus with film. He practiced his piano playing and with his young creative imagination taught himself how to score movies, by turning the sound off of the television ( his fathers' idea ) and playing along with it. His dad owned a Bell & Howell silent SUPER 8 movie camera he was allowed to 'play with' from time to time. He and his brothers started a band and were exposed in many New York City / Tri-County talents shows. In 1978 during a short enrollment at Savannah State University under Professor Samuel Gill Sr. , Vincent started and operated the 1st electronic music workshop. Through a chance meeting with Curtis Mayfield he became his 1984 world tour keyboard player and interned in 1986 on the Keenan Ivory Winans comedy "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" as Curtis Mayfield provided the music. This cemented his desire to score and create music for movies and all visual media. See my Website as composer : www.vleev.net
