In this episode V-Mac shares about overcoming the challenges of being born with Glaucoma to accomplish some of his greatest dreams and support the dreams of others.
Vincent C. McDonald Jr. also known by his stage name V-Mac, is a Bahamian, singer, Producer, Entertainment Mogul, Philanthropist, and Motivational Speaker. McDonald was born in Nassau, The Bahamas to a middle-class family. At birth, doctors discovered that he had glaucoma, which blinded him in both eyes. McDonald spent a great deal of infancy in and out of surgery and doctors were eventually able to give him sight in his left eye. His right eye, however, was replaced with a prosthetic. At five, McDonald’s parents gave him a drum set for Christmas. Unknowingly, they had given him the key to unlocking what many have described as a “prodigious and prolific” talent in music and entertainment. He taught himself to play and by age eight, he’d organized his first concert on his lawn. Before turning 15, McDonald developed a following, particularly in the gospel arena He began accepting invitations to perform at church and youth events as an artist. By the age of 14, He launched his first production company V-Mac Productions and Extreme Youth Entertainment. At the time, McDonald was the youngest gospel producer, singer, performer, record label owner in the Bahamian gospel genre – all while was still a freshman in high school. He began balancing the demands of producing events and school with his newfound hobby of media and television. The demands for performing and public speaking grew and McDonald also became a role model for a new wave of young gospel singers who combined modern elements with classic styles. Considering him peer instead of an old industry head, he began entertaining requests to help launch careers through music production, songwriting, composing and arranging, stage set up and music video production. After getting all of the camera equipment he needed in place, 16-year-old McDonald became the youngest Bahamian to host, film, direct and executive produce a nationally televised series with his Extreme Youth TV. After the overwhelming success of his television show, McDonald decided the time was right to bring out his own project. His debut solo album Elevation quickly climbed to the top of the charts in The Bahamas and Caribbean and launched him as a bona fide international artist. In 2010, McDonald took on two major projects – Partnering with longtime friend and Business Partner Lavard “Manifest” Parks in launching their own Internet radio station www.ultimatevibesradio.com, which was the premiere Online Radio Station for Caribbean Gospel Music. In Summer 2011, VMac then teamed up with upcoming Gospel Sensation Lyrically Blessed to release and co-produce their collaborative worship Album “The Way We Praise” McDonald has made no apologies for his Christian faith, He also has given back to the community, particularly to those with visual impediments.
