Vincent, known as "Little Vinny," was born on August 1, 1994 in Chandler, Arizona. He graduated from Chandler High School in 2012. He then joined the National Guard and served for three years. During his time in the service, he married his then-wife Deztinie and had two beautiful children, Jena and Jesse, who loved him very much.

Vinny was raised by his father, Vicente Gutierrez, and he grew up in a single parent home. His grandparents, Ismael and Gloria were always there for him. Vinny loved basketball and football and was a fan of the Arizona Cardinals. He loved to watch the games with his dad. He was always asking, "Dad, where you watching the game at?" Many times they watched the Cardinals games together at Studley’s house.
