Early life: VYBEOLOGY was born in Oklahoma City, OK. He is of both African American and Native American descent. As a child, he adored watching Michael Jackson and developed the need to entertain which he did throughout his childhood. Vybeology grew up in a military family and traveled throughout the United States and Europe. It was Europe he discovered the love for House Music and a new style of dance that was new and hadn't been seen in the United States. He attended Naples American High School and surrounded himself with people who shared his common interest of Dance and Music. During this time he began writing about his personal life and kept these journals private. He also became a huge fan of Janet Jackson and was amazed at her style of dance during the Rhythm Nation era. He knew that music was definitely something he wanted to do. Vybeology described himself as a kid who was "Shy, missunderstood, teased and somewhat awkward" He tried finding ways of coming out of his shell so he joined the Volleyball Team and made Varsity, he joined Track and Field and Cross Country making Varsity. To really put himself out he did the unimaginable after being encouraged by one of his closest friends, even still today, He auditioned for his high school talent show where he won 1st Place in the dance competition which was broadcast on Italian TV. This victory made him known for his style of dance and stage presence. He later went on to perform at Carney Park and won 1st place and The Flamingo Club after meeting a childhood friends father who worked there. He lost that competition but he garnered a reputation throughout the community for his talents. Several family members saw his talent early on in childhood and thought he should audition for Star Search, Putting on the Ritz but due to lack of support from his parents he never pursued his interest. Personal life: After returning to the United States to finish school he led a very troubled life. Still teased and taunted he tried making the best of his situation although difficult. He stated that he "SupresSd a lot of anger and hatred towards immediate family members" He even distanced himself from his family for many years after going through a very painful experience he doesn't discuss to this day. "Acceptance is the one thing I've always wanted as a kid. To be acknowledged and to be apart of something" tragedy hit him hard when he lost several important family memebers who he felt he could for once confide and trust. The first of them being an Aunt who was like a mother to him although they went through turbulent moments she always said "I Believe In You & I Love You" a few years later he lost his girlfriend of 2 years to a tragic death. "I've never gone into details about her with anyone in my family or even to my associates because the pain was just so unbearable. A year later he lost his  step-brother who he'd finally formed a close bond with. "It was a really dark period and I just felt so alone, the world was closing in on me" The following year he lost another brother. "Seclusion has always been my avenue of escape when I don't want to face reality." Through all of his loss he actively wrote about what was going on but shared with few people. "I find comfort in writing, I feel I can trust the paper I write on verses people, People deceive you. Friends and Family have deceived me over the years so I keep my personal life private and share very few details even with those I consider myself closest to" with the exception of a few I've known throughout the years". Vybeology notes that he found comfort in Janet Jackson (The Velvet Rope) "The Velvet Rope was my diary put into music" It's a very personal album that I most identify with and I felt that Janet said it perfectly, The Need To Feel Special, To Feel That We Belong. When you sit down and listen to tracks in depth like "You, The Velvet Rope, I Get Lonely, Everytime, Together Again, Got Til It's Gone" it makes you feel more sad than you did before. I used to cry everytime I played this album. It made me feel better, it was therapy to my own private prison. I thank her for sharing her life with me.

In 2004, Vybeology began writing the album tentively titled "Another Sabbatical" after working with many producers the album was placed on haitus and permanently, shelved due to lack of consistency from the team he was working with. However, he kept writing about what was going on and keeps those pieces of work guarded.

In 2008 he began writing "Camouflage" which has now been titled "Phantasm" with the hopes of a 2010 release date. He took the liberty of getting his own recording studio and began the process of producing the entire album himself. He's working with a few artist on the project and is very excited about the direction it's going in. He also began modeling for Parris Hope and had a 2009 12 month calendar produced from that shoot. He received positive reviews. The shoot for a 2010 calendar is now in session with the possibilities of mass distribution to the public as well as a future website in progress.
