W.Y.N.O. BIO:
W.Y.N.O. (Winning Your Nation Over) is not only one of the most sought after emcee‘s in the region, He is also one of the most accomplished Hip-Hop/ R&B Musicians in the Western U.S. Having Produced, Written, Performed, and Directed on over 20 Hip-Hop, R&B, & Rock projects within the last 5 years.
This extraordinary artist offers a wonderful and eclectic blend of powerful distinctive songwriting and performance skills that has set new standards in the genre. W.Y.N.O. connects with thousands of fans from all over the U.S. from his home in California, to his stints in Oregon, Washington, and the 4 Corner Region (Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and Arizona). The simmer of sizzling stage appearances has become a hot boil, as W.Y.N.O. continues to bubble in the region.
W.Y.N.O.’S musical talents vary from playing the piano/keyboards, drum machines, and a melodic vocal ability, to his live stage routines with his fellow b-boys. If that was not enough, this Rapper/Singer/Producer’s unique style of linguistically acrobatic flows come together to form a uniquely refreshing spirit for Hip-Hop. Sounding like a cross between LL Cool J’s old school aggressive delivery. With thought provoking Jay-Z/Atmosphere type lyrics crossed with a melodic west coast growl, and backed by a futuristic version of KRS-One Boom-Bap Production that keeps anything from a house party to a club/theater jumping.
This talented artist is ready to return the True School Hip-hop Culture to it rightful place in the lime light where talent reigns supreme. W.Y.N.O. is spiritually and mentally connected with the culture he represents, and wishes to convey a message of hope to all those who have been yearning for a meaningful type of music in a genre that continually offers mediocre sounds of plainness and negativity. In short, W.Y.N.O. is here to take the music back for it’s true fans.
