User:SHUX WUN

SHUX WUN is an American multimedia producer currently based in Tokyo, Japan. He began his professional career in Los Angeles, California. Since the mid 90’s he’s traveled producing countless video programs, music productions, special events, workshops, and educational activities in collaboration with local communities, independent and major artists, amusement parks, and even political Ambassador’s of embassies representing various foreign countries.

Born and raised in the 70’s on his father’s enormous soul, funk, jazz music collection and his older brother’s rap records, he soon became indoctrinated into hip hop culture at a very early age. From graffiti, to beatboxing, mc’ing, b- boying, dj’ing, and producing, he’s done it all at some point. Inspired by all elements, gravitating into an inevitable career choice of multi- media production came very naturally.

He is the founder of an independent coalition of artists, Music & Strength (est.1997), formed by members and affiliates residing all over the globe representing all art mediums... Each member worthy of their own recognition of accomplishments. The unit has managed to continue recruiting more and more aspiring artists year after year, assisting in growing and graduating members into various realms of creativity and professionalism.

Though more recently he can be spotted in a suit and tie heading into an Embassy or some corporate offices in Tokyo, SHUX is a by-product of hip hop and the streets. From dodging gun toting gangbangers as a southern California teen in the 90’s, becoming a counselor of at-risk youth in state funded intervention facilities in early 2000’s, to culturally educating kids overseas　in the 2010’s, he maintains a deep understanding about the pulse of youth in urban America and Japan.

Under his latest venture, Art Before Industry, spearheaded by longtime friend and crewmate, Ndure, the foundation for a newly constructed bridge connecting corporate entities with urban insight is being laid. ABI for short, aspires to represent the marketing ambition of capitalists, presented as the voice of urban trailblazers... Such as the hip hop community responsible for revolutionizing fashion, dance, art, music & entertainment around the world over the last 4 decades.

ABI’s goal is to rally financial means to uplift survivors of alcoholism, drug addiction, violence, abuse, exploitation and crimes against humanity in both urbanized and indigenous cultures around the globe. So as it seems he has much already accomplished, SHUX has only just begun.
