W5rldW3de is a Montgomery, Alabama artist who has been building his career since releasing his first single in October 2020. His current single, “Stopwatch,” ties directly into one of the recurring themes in his music—time, growth, and the experiences that can transform a person. That same idea carries into his album How Time Can Change A Person, reflecting on how his journey has shaped both the artist and person he is today. W5rldW3de also takes a hands-on approach behind the scenes, having recorded, mixed, and mastered his first album ANEC himself. In this interview, he breaks down the creative and technical sides of his process, the challenges of being his own engineer, and the sounds and techniques that help distinguish his records. He also discusses the meaning behind the W5rldW3de name, what Montgomery has contributed to his artistry, and the things he refuses to compromise on creatively. With plans to establish a record label, W5rldW3de is looking beyond his own music as he considers the next phase of his career and what he wants to build for the future.
