Vocab

about

Vocab is an Artist, Song Writer, and Co-Owner of The Coast2Coast Mixtape Series and Magazine. On February 6th, 1983 in Toronto Canada, Sean Harvey (a.k.a. Vocab) was born. Both his mother and father had emigrated separately from Jamaica and were introduced through a mutual friend. Vocabs father (Carl Harvey) was a guitar player for a number of different bands, (among them, Grammy winning Toots and the Maytals). His fathers hectic schedule as a performer conflicted with his mothers idea of stability, both emotionally and financially. The relationship was short lived. After Vocabs first birthday, contact with his father was limited to visitation which dwindled as he got older. In the absence of his father, the young boy (like so many other kids in his demographic) was forced to look elsewhere for male role models. With his mother constantly working and little or no adult supervision after school, Vo found himself with a lot of time to kill and not much to kill it with. So, he did what most young kids did that were stuck in the big city with nothing to do; he hit the streets. Running with a group of older kids, Sean saw his share of fights, stabbings, and the occasional party getting shot up. He frequently spent time talking to the fathers of his friends who’d already been through the system. With his mothers strict rules, and the advice of the neighborhood OG’s, Sean decided young that he wasnt going to succumb to the same pitfalls it seemed so many of his friends were doom
