William”Ouiwey” Collins was born March 28, 1975. His mother, Patricia Johnson and father, William “Bootsy”Collins were both musicians. As he grew it became evident that the “musician gene” had been passed down to him. From the young age of eight years old, he began to teach himself how to play various musical instruments.
In 2001, Ouiwey ventured from his hometown in Cincinnati, Ohio all the way to Japan, to go on tour with his band. There he spent three(3) years, on and off, before returning to the United States in 2005.
He moved to Birmingham, Alabama in 2006 and began working with Whosoever Ministries/The Basement( a local, and now, worldwide ministry).
Ouiweys unmistaken ability, to bring “edge” and “flare” to anything he touches, is commonly spoken of his talents.
Using his unique talents and creativeness has brought him a long way in the industry.
