Vision Vanson was born and raised in the Bronx, NY.  As a child of Puerto Rican descent and from a family with traditional values, culture, talent, and passion for creative arts he grew up highly influenced by music, film, and sports.  As a young adolescent he played baseball, basketball, and football with friends from his old neighborhood and in leagues throughout the borough. Like every kid he had big dreams and aspirations. Growing up many kids wanted to become professional athletes.  Some played for their high school teams and some even went on to play for college.  
 
While in school and growing up around pop culture he developed a passion and love for Hip Hop which he had been heavily influenced by and was a genre of music that originated in the Bronx in the 70's.  It had become very popular by the 80's during the same decade and borough within which he was born.  So by the mid 90's he had been maturing into a young adult and Hip Hop was bigger than ever.  It was considered the golden years of the culture which had such a direct impact on his life that his aspirations and hopes of becoming a professional athlete began to dwindle but would soon become the same passion he needed for wanting to become an aspiring rap artist and express himself in positive ways that would reflect the stories of struggle, pain, and a feeling of hopelessness that a lot of families who were raised and/or live in those low income areas feel, go through, and can relate to.  
 
Some of the Hip Hop artists and groups that influenced him the most and made him want to start rapping were KRS-One, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Scarface, Slick Rick, LL Cool J, 2Pac, Nas, Notorious B.I.G., Big Pun, Jay-Z, Big L, 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, DMX, Cam'ron, Fat Joe, Fabolous, AZ, Redman, Eminem, Royce Da 5'9, Obie Trice, ATCQ, Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, The LOX, Gangstarr, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, M.O.P., DITC, Boot Camp Clik, EPMD, Onyx, Naughty By Nature, Cypress Hill, Nice n Smooth, Das Efx, Brand Nubian, Outkast, Capone N Noreaga, Infamous Mobb, and many more.  
As he developed a passion to start writing his own rhymes due to the legendary influences he had been listening to, he knew that he had to hone his craft and start putting his skills to the test.  At around the age of 16 he would participate and join in rap battle cyphers wherever they would take place and where other other MC's would also rap and compete against each other with spectators and those listening chanting and cheering on whoever had the most creative lines in not only what they said but how they said it.
 
Realizing he had to strike that balance between content and flow he knew that he not only wanted to just be good but that he wanted to be great.  Playing sports at a young age gave him the desire and passion to not only compete but be a winner.  It also taught him to learn from his failures and to not let losses define who he is.  He understood that there were great lessons to be learned from losses which can ultimately turn into wins.  

While still attending school, playing sports, and mastering his craft he foresaw there would eventually come a time he would also want to record and perform his own music to get feedback from his peers and potential fans and has since gotten many positive reviews for his lyrical quality and consistent output.
