Band/artist history

Despite having graduated from Duke Ellington School of the Arts, located a few miles from the river, Twan Woods had few prospects for the future. Growing up in one of the city’s poorest, most dilapidated, crime-ridden public housing areas, he said his life was a "day to day thing."

"You worry about surviving to the next day; you don’t think about the future," he said. 

His only outlet was playing the electric keyboard in a band with friend Anthony Satterthwaite at Satterthwaite’s apartment in the nearby, similarly run-down Valley Green Apartments.
"

Woods did production National Geographic Society & the Earth Conservation Core's proudest accomplishments, a 40-minute video documenting their introduction of bald eagles to the city. He also wrote and recorded background music for it. 

Now 28, he runs his own music production business. Woods used his ECC scholarship money to finance a two-year certificate program he completed in recording arts at Full Sail University in Orlando, Fla. Among his current projects is producing a series for D.C.’s Public Access television
