Von Won was born in St. Croix – one of the U.S. Virgin Islands – and raised on the Southeast side of Houston, Texas. His ministry and music career has granted him opportunities to appear nationally on MTV, Daystar, and FOX News, as well as on local television and radio stations in the city of Houston.
In 2014 he released an album called Grace Still Abides, on which he collaborated with Scarface, Bun B and Paul Wall. The successful record debuted at #26 on the Gospel Billboard Chart. Since then he has been featured on various projects spearheaded by other artists. His latest independent release is Why Should I Run, a combination done with motivational speaker Dr. Eric Thomas. The song and its visuals were shared on September 15, 2023; if you have not yet heard it, click here to check it out.
When he is not busy making music, Von Won can be found pastoring at Space City Church, while simultaneously building the Grown & Saved brand, and running his own creative marketing agency, Urban Eye Media.
He has encountered countless challenges in his life, but continues to overcome, so much so that he has emerged as a voice of inspiration to many. He is a loving husband, and a proud father of four, with a vision of spreading a message of hope worldwide.

In a recent interview with The Star – one of Jamaica’s leading national newspapers – Ras Kronik, who is actively promoting his recently released album, The Energy, said the following:
“I believe that with continued promotion, this album will achieve tremendous commercial success and eventually become a classic. It has all the right elements to achieve that level of success. All the songs on it were professionally written and recorded, and the mixes are great. This is a top-notch production.”
The Energy, which is predominantly reggae and dancehall, was released on August 18, 2023 via Pandemic Records & Entertainment LLC. It features only one collaboration – Fyah Burn, done with reggae legend Turbulence – and the creative energies (no pun intended) of producers and beatmakers: Mr. Mig, Ricky Dread, Trixx Anthony Tenyue, Sheldon and Everton Edwards.
The Energy can be streamed and/or downloaded from iTunes, Apple Music, Deezer, Spotify, Tidal, and all other music platforms. If you have not done so as yet, check it out.
