From his impressive lyrical density, to his ear for great sound, and close detail to his music, Uton Dixon III, also known as "Wamii G. Bodega" has made his presence known to all other rappers in his area. Fixated on original sounds, and themes, his music is simply incredible - and has made this young talent unstoppable.

("The Famous Nobody" by Wamii G. Bodega)

When did your love for music start?

"I started doing music back in high school. A few of my friends and I would get together during lunch, and we would just rap with each other, all while a lot of people watched.We started having battles, and from there, I formed a group of few people, and we got together and did a few tracks together. After that, I stopped rapping for a little, and got back into it around 2010, after getting kicked out my house. That was an extremely  hard time for me, and I felt like I had nothing I could relate to, or depend on besides music. With this, my writing got better, my sense of music got better; this was when my growth really began."

Do you have any inspirations?

"My overall inspiration would have to be Lupe Fiasco, he gave me the feeling of being able to speak freely, and to open up in my music as best as possible. He's a real legend, somebody I have always looked up to. All I want to do is to make as big as an impact as he did. My other inspiration is Kendrick Lamar, his EP really helped me get through a rough time. He is also somebody who has had a huge impact to music. My latest addition to inspirations would be Ryshon Jones…he really speaks true when it comes to his music. He's really doing his own thing. His sound is so different. It's awesome to listen to, I appreciate the different sounding hip hop."

("Killer" by Wamii G. Bodega)

Wamii is currently working on "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" which is scheduled to drop very soon. "I don't want to focus too much on the future. Too many people forget that the present is equally as important. I want to make sure I am improving myself daily, because things happen to me everyday that give me inspiration for my music.", he answered when asked about his career 5 years down the line.

Occupation: Musicians/Producing

This group consists of four young, talented men all coming through extremely different walks of life. Hakim, Daniel Joseph, Jahsyah, and Steeve Sam, began their collaboration around 2004, when they all realized the music they were able to create together was beautiful, and “could change the world,” according to lead singer Steeve Sam.

When did you guys first become interested in music?

Steeve answered, “I feel like music has always been in me. Even as a baby, I would be humming tunes, and trying to catch a rhythm. I first realized singing would be my LIFE around the age of 13. That was when I started learning my voice, and creating myself as an artist.” Hakim followed up stating his musicianship began when he was around 5, playing notes off a piano in the back of a church. “I was young, so the piano really interested me. Rapping came along when I was about 13, and bought my first piece of equipment.”

Are there any musical influences you have?

(Daniel Joseph) “my taste in music would have to be influenced mainly by my family. My parents had a very eclectic taste in music that they brought around me all through-out my childhood, which still affects me now. I currently own their music catalogue. Having access to such a thing is a privilege. I always touch base with it.” Hakim added, “I would say being in church at such a young age still has its influence on me. Seeing the way music can touch one’s soul reminds me to create music that brings that same feeling to our listeners. What we must not forget is that music is FEELING, this alone should be enough to influence one to re-create this feeling each time. Besides that, I can easily say Michael Jackson has a huge influence on me. Everyone can agree when I say, his music had that "wow-factor", that feeling.”

In terms of your career, where do you see yourselves 5 years from now?

(Steeve) “I see us having swept the world music award. [laughter] we would have brought peace on Earth, and brought happiness back into music. We create life.”

When and how did you first become interested in music? I First Became Interested In Music Years & Years & Years Ago Lol . I Remember My Mother Playing Whitney Houston, D'Angelo, Monica, Brandy & Michael Jackson Every Single Weekend Around The House While We Cleaned It From Top To Bottom. It Had To Be Tupac's Dear Mama That Really  Got Me Extra Glued To The Beauty Of The Craft Behind The Tunes I Was Hearing. Thats When I Started To Want To Become Involved, I Listened To This Song Every Single Day In The Car On My Way To Kindergarden Class Over & Over Again. That Song Truly Touched Me On Another Level.

I Enjoy & Respect The Craft Of Each Of These Artist.

Where would you most like to perform? I'd Love To Perform Anywhere. Its Not About The Location As Much As The Audience To Me. I Like To Perform For Open-Minded People That Understand What It Means To "Put On" For The Crowd By All Means :) If I Had To Choose It Would Be The Garden. Classic Place.  

what else can we expect from you in the future? Oh You Can Expect To Be Seeing More Of Me CERTAINLY !! It Was Bananas! Because I Had To Kinda Put My Project On Hold To Handle The Business Sides Of The Music In Order To Get Where I'd Like To Be. So By 2012 There Will be New Upgraded Improves Tunes From Myself Available. I Need Everyone To Tell Their Best-Friends To Share It With Their Good-Friends To Share It With Their Cousins! 

What’s your motto or the advice you live by?  If You Can Vision It, Its Possible ! All You Have To Do Is Master Plan It In A Way That You Can Not Lose By Preparing For The Worse & Expecting The Best & Dont Forget The Magical Part Of It All. With Out It Your Plan Is Nothing. Dont Forget To Believe In Yourself! & Thats REAL!
