Hailing from the Bed-Stuy element of Brooklyn, New York, Vance deeply believed, throughout his life, that he was knitted into the fabric of greatness.
A born cinephile, his favorite actors served as an early inspiration and were the mustard seeds to contribute to a life in love with playing characters. Shifting expressions due to the wealth of diversity in his environment, came naturally for Vance as a writer which is how he strikes his creative balance. Continously exercising his linguistic skills of Spanish, English, Italian and American Sign Language.

From the words of the artist himself, when asked about his choice of profession:
“I believe this is an honor and a blessing to be able to recreate human behavior. For one thing, I can do this anywhere in the world! I mean c’mon a five day stay in Italy grew to me taking residence there because I was able to engage as an actor. Not everyone can travel and share their gifts, so I feel immensely grateful.”
