Anthony Trammel Bruner, a.k.a. We’z Mr. 3-1-8, was born on January 8, 1980, in Shreveport Louisiana to Janice Marie Bruner. At the age on 9, We’z discovered his passion for music and instantly realized that music was his calling. Artists such as Prince, Tupac Shakur, and Scarface had a big influence on We’z and at the age of 14, he appeared in his first talent show where he performed one of his original songs. In 1996, after hearing about the death of his long time idol, Tupac Shakur, We’z felt devastated and felt that hip hop was starting to loose its true essence. He felt that it was his responsibility to bring it back and show the younger generations what hip-hop is really all about.

We’z has opened up for artists such as WC, D.J. Unk, Baby Boy da Prince, Turf Talk, Coolio, Young Buck, The Federations, Warren G, E-40, The Game, and Mike Jones. Not only did this inspire him, but it also gave him more confidence and made him a stronger performer. At this point of his life, he feels he is ready to take on the challenges of the music industry and reach out to inner city youth and help bring back true hip-hop. “My hopes for the future are to make a big impact on the music biz and bring entertainment to the next level.”
