Vaughndio Forbes was born in Nassau, New Providence Island, Bahamas to two Royal Bahamas Police Force officer parents, Victor Forbes and Misheann Horton. At the age of 8 he moved to Miami, FL with his mother after his parents separated. He spent years in Florida moving around, before moving back to the Bahamas to graduate from high school. After graduating in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas he moved to Fort Lauderdale, FL to study at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. He was passionate about art, but he also dreamed of being a part of the entertainment industry particularly in stunts and acting.After leaving the school he worked various jobs until coming across a couple while working as an Apple Store employee. He recognized them as Chick and Rosie Bernhard, two seasoned stunt professionals. They invited him to the set of The Glades, and at that moment Vaughndio was "bitten by the show bug". He stayed in Florida a few more years before moving out to Los Angeles, CA in 2012 to pursue the life of a stuntman, actor and artist.
