Early life
Vazquez was born in Cuba on March 18, 1965 and came to the United States with his family as part of the Cuban Exodus in 1971. He was named after Russian actor Yul Brynner. He grew up in Miami in a studio apartment with his mother, grandmother and older sister, thus being the youngest as well as the only boy in the household. His mother encouraged him in the arts, often taking him to the theater where she worked, and she bought him his first drum set and camera.
