Born in Philadelphia Pa. to a mother and father who parted . Haliwood was raised both by his grandmother and the streets. He was forced to spend most of his childhood living in westphilly , mt airy, germantown, chestnut hill and west oak lane...all of which would later play a big part in his story telling. Haliwood started listening to rap as early as six and has since been influenced by such pioneers from Rakim, Slick Rick and LL Cool J to Nas, Jay-Z, 2pac and Biggy. By the age of twelve, he picked up the mic himself and began to tell his story. Now, Haliwood emerges with a new sound that is heavily influenced by his mixture of east coast and west coast music. Wood got his name from the streets because he was so flashy and larger than life. Ask him now and he'll tell you that his name now stands for his rap style, brazen hot... his songs combine profound lyrics with an ability to eloquently tell life experiences . Haliwood also describes his writing style "story telling and expressing of the trials and tribulations I've seen or done." . Although it took a lifetime to put together, it only took a year in the studio to create. With a growing respect and street credibility for his music, Haliwood is on the road to national exposure.
