Von Won aka Vaughaligan Walwyn was born in St.Croix of the US Virgin Islands and raised on the southeast side of Houston,TX. During his years at Rice University he became a 26 ft NCAA All-American long jumper breaking the US Virgin Island national record. After injuring his knee and losing his opportunity to compete in the Olympic games, his passion for sports turned into a passion for music.

A lot of times chasing a rap dream comes with the night life, partying, women, drugs and alcohol. This was no different for Von Won and coming home from a concert one night he was stopped by police and tazed multiple times in a near life ending incident.

From there he switched up his style and became an inspirational recording artist, traveling across the US, to the UK and to Brazil spreading the message of the gospel through his music and powerful testimony.

You may have heard him singing "Welcome To H-Town" on Lecrae's popular "Church Clothes Vol.1" Mixtape Hosted by DJ Don Canon. Get ready for Von Won's new album "Grown And Saved" dropping April 21st, 2015.
