Do you play live?
I've done many performances over the years, and many more to come,so keep an ear open.
We have so many new things on the horizon. I have a new label behind Mastermynd Ent me thats doing everything to get me out there. Plus, im with Unik Management handling all the artist extra's for me, and my main damey R-Dub who been holding me down since day 1. So we have a strong team with a strong roster thats ready to do it. I just did a show for Chief Rocker Busy Bee for www.thenext.tv when they were in Seattle. I did an interview with the host of the show Dave Swagger which you can check out at www.myspace.com/won8d or on my music section on this site.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Gives the A&R dept. in many markets / companies a chance to hear you without
leaving the office.
leaving the office.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No. I would like for Mastermynd Ent to be distrubted with a major.

Performing in such venues as The Northwest Import/Export Auto Show and Hedonist Masquerade Ball and opening for major recording artists Sir Mix Alot and Digital Underground, Won8D has honed his performance skills and possesses a commanding stage presence and a delivery style that is second to none. *In addition to being hard at work on his upcoming solo album, IllOfficial slated for a 2007 release, Won8D has writing credits on several local artists albums. Having recently signed with MasterMynd Entertainment, Won8D is ready to hit the hip-hop scene with a vengeance.
Your influences?
Man..I grew up listening to gospel, the blues, a whole lot of singing...cuz that's what i really wanted to do. Until i hit puberty...voice cracking and stuff. But once i started rhyming,breaking,and doing graff work....i just wanted to do hip hop...i wanted to be hip hop u feel me...
Favorite spot?
Inside my head...
Anything else...?
It's all about handling business and everything else will fall into place. Life is full of surprises some good some bad its just how it goes. Im more mature with my outlook on the music and the industry now.
