Born November 13th, 1991, the Compton, Ca. native began writing at the age of 10. Inspired by Rapper/Actor "Will Smith", GMW began his journey recording on a web camera recorder, and mixing his music on a free online downloaded software: "Audacity". With humble beginnings, GMW developed the skills of Engineering, Recording, Marketing, and Writing his own material. By the age of 20, GMW began attracting attention from underground hip-hop supporters releasing his music on websites such at Youtube, Soundclick, Reverbnation, and Soundcloud (which gave him the most recognition). Then to now, GMW has ascended success in the underground community without the help from a record label, manager, or a publicist. Although, as many artist would, GMW had desires to obtain a major record deal, with time and many false promises, GMW has learned his biggest investor, a&r, and believer was his-self. Since then, he has grown quite quickly as an artist who is determined to be recognized as a leader of the underground community, a versatile poet in hip-hop form, and an escape from a (self-proclaimed), "music generation of misguided followers". GMW's lyrics and passion can easily paint pictures you can relate to and vibe with despite your lifestyle and circumstances. (Quote) "I believe the hip-hop mainstream is now perceived as a person who must be a violent, women hating drug user; dealer, to be accepted as a successful and influential artist. Dont get me wrong the story is important to be told, but by those who ACTUALLY have done and lived because of the circumstances more than the desire of fame. For example, there are aspiring individuals who are not being inspired, and inspiring individuals who are opportunity unable because of whats being promoted and conditioned as popular/available. I want to show and prove hip-hop is a limitless genre, that is ten times more powerful when written and performed directly from the first hand experienced. I was blessed and fortunate enough to have been taught young my self-human worth, to also think outside current situations which unfortunatly, due to one of the inescapable factors of living in the environment, most are not taught in time, or more importantly before the negatively taught survival needed habits are formed. I feel my gift was given to spread the love of hip-hop, rather you do, or do not experience similar upbringings, and will stand for personal beliefs." GMW has enhanced his natural talent with word-play and refreshingly one of a kind delivery, to undeniably timeless art. "Music is made for you to judge for yourself. Original Hip-Hop influenced music is all i know If the creator of the music is genuine, it will show. Let your ears decide. Most effective in headphones, with few like-minded others, or alone. Independent music is a community! Please show love " -GMW
