Born January 7, 1970 in Monterey California and raised in Tacoma Washington. Wojack's parents are his earthly advisers and GOD is his spiritual tutor. Wojack's two brothers, Brian and Bobby are an intricate part of his crew and from the beginning have given their older brother their utmost support. Wojack is not only a brilliant rap artist but an inspirational producer, song writer and is an insightful lyricist. Wojack is well known in the Seattle/Tacoma districts for his amazing ability to verbally communicate throughout his music and spoken word. He's likening to a chemist in his laboratory spitting out words and revelations of things to come; like wars and rumors of wars. Wojack's lyrics are laced with apocalyptic revelations of political and revolutionary rhymes. Like most artists, Wojack began singing in the Church. Wojack said “God gave me a gift of song, it is imperative that I give him the glory.†Characteristically, Wojack's gone through a mental and spiritual transformation. Ever since he was born he has felt the essence of music calling him from the depths to express his opinion to whomsoever it will. In 1978, he heard his first Hip Hop song, Rappers Delight, by The Shugar Hill Gang. After repeatedly hearing the song, he was hooked and from that point, rap music captured his soul and little did he know, it would never let go. In '84, he transformed himself from break dancer and Hip Hop DJ, to a master of ceremony for Short MC. He had built himself a work table equipped with two turn tables, a small Korg drum machine and mixer. He gathered all the rap albums he could find. Wojack began by spinning for small parties at Boys and Girls Clubs and went by the name DJ Icy Rock. At the time there were several other crews emerging out of the neighborhood like the Apache Playboys, Casanova Crew, The DCR, and The Def City Rockers. They all brought Hip Hop to Tacoma. Wojack and crew were rugged to the bone. They would put on parties and car washes to raise money for jackets, trips and other expenses. They had to stay on top. One day, there was a block party and all MC's met to battle on the mic. Wojack's crew got blasted, dismantled and crushed by a female MC named Goldie. This was a huge ego crusher yet as a result, it gave Wojack the drive to write his very first rap. It took him four times to get started but he continued to go over and over his rhymes until they were fully memorized to perfection. He was now ready. In 1988, Wojack graduated from Henry Foss High School. At age 18, he began producing music and he continued to write lyrics with his friends and with DJ E., his new partner. He performed at several school events and major community events like The Bite of Tacoma as well as The Black Community Festival. Two years passed and Local DJ Nasty Ness Rodriguez and Sir Mix A Lot along with other partners put Seattle on the map with hit single, Potion Broadway. They later discovered Wojack and DJ E.'s talent at several rap contests and shows around Seattle and Tacoma. They decided to include them in the Nasty Mix family. They settled on naming this new addition, Criminal Nation. The group had an impressive debut. They fed the public with hits like Insane, Black Power Nation and Release the Pressure. They proceeded to make a second album labeled, Trouble in the Hood, with the hit single/video Excuse Me Mr. Officer. All was seemingly well until Nasty Mix Records took a turn for the worst and experienced internal difficulties which left Wojack and fans devastated and disappointed. In 1994, Nasty Mix Records filed for bankruptcy and Criminal Nation came to an end. Wojack stepped out of the music industry and decided to explore his options as a solo artist and in1996 a new album was born. The album was titled “Where ya Going Wo?.†2500 units were sold the first month the album was released but soon after, Wojack made a distribution deal with SOLAR (Sounds of Los Angeles Records) in L.A. When the company filed bankruptcy, once again, Wojack was left in the same scenario. Wojack , dejected and upset, left the arena of Hip Hop. Feeling used, Wojack left the game only to return with a vengeance to reclaim the crown he earned as a sophomore. Wojack started going to Canada and the people immediately responded with admiration to his music. He decided to compose yet another album while in Canada. He created what he describes as “a blueprint of how this Armageddon is going down†in reference to the September 11th, New York City Trade Center attacks and subsequent attacks on Afghanistan. Wojack quotes, “When they start stereotyping people and locking' cats up, the youngsters will need some generals in the streets. I'm a surviving general.†The album was recorded in Fiasco Bros. Studios in British Columbia, Canada. In 2000 after 3 months of hard work, Guerrilla Music was completed. Wojack brings the heat to Summer Jam 2000 and lights up the stage while performing his hit song Guerrilla Hogs. In 2001, Wojack heads to L.A. on a promotional tour. He continued performing and promoting the album at various clubs throughout the U.S. and Canada. Now is the time to recapture the attention of all Wojack fans. Wojack Corporation has launched www.wojack .com, a site where you can find out more about Wo and discover his music. His latest project is titled, BLACK OPS. This is a very dangerous hour but it is one filled with great opportunity. Music has enabled Wojack to cross barriers, therefore allowing him to reach a world wide audience. Enjoy Wojack.
