Growing up in Madison, Wisconsin, One8 had his first experience with music when he was a child; his mother and grandmother would listen to music while working in the kitchen.  When he first heard Chaka Kahn’s “Ain’t Nobody,” it inspired a passion that grew to incorporate every facet of music.  As he grew up and moved to California and, eventually, Las Vegas, his tastes grew to include Eric B., Ice Cube, Ice T, and NWA.  
	In high school, One8 met artists Braindead and Boogieman.  They took him to his first studio recording session where he proved to be a natural at singing and rapping.  After getting into some legal trouble, he met attorney David Lee Phillips, who also happened to own a record label.   Mr. Phillips, impressed by One8’s talents, recruited him to be his label’s president.  One8 spent the next several years traveling between Madison and Las Vegas, working with artists such as T-trell and Gunslanga, his own younger brother.
	After permanently moving to Madison, One8 began working with childhood friend, rapper Sunny Jenkins, and the MMA as a promoter, talent coordinator, and head of security, among other roles.  His promotion of Sunny eventually led to a $50 thousand music video with now good friend nick cardella.  In the following years, One8 did promotional work for many other artists in venues large and small.  He has been involved in shows for Bun-D from UGK, and opening acts for Paul Wall and Twista.  In early 2010, 	One8 strongly believes in not burning bridges, and over two decades that has led to a myriad of connections that run far deeper than an average business acquaintance.  It is the power of these connections and his twenty-plus years of experience that he brings to onesun studios/One8inc. One8 is a hook king & has worked with great & talented artist.
