Anthony Douglas Brownlee better known by his stage name Vandal, is an American Rapper. He was raised in South Central Los Angeles.

Vandal began rapping at the age of 18 but didn't start taking it seriously until his close friend Sheldon Elliott Fazande also known as Outrageous was shot execution style in the back of the head while he sat in his car. "That really made me think on how short life can be." That could have very well been me in that vehicle." With the death of his friend looming heavily on his mind Vandal started to take his passion for music much more serious. He went into the studio and in 3 days recorded 13 songs and released Vandalizm Vol.1. The album garnered much attention.

Since then Vandal has released One EP called "Sex And The City."Vandal also recorded a song for the Los Angeles Lakers called "We Lakers" The Anthem.
