Music has been the focal point in the life of Norwood, for as long as he can remember; one listen to this talented artist and there's no question that Norwood was born to sing, create music, and entertain the world! Stay tuned, as his story is just beginning…… Norwood is very clear about his career goals: “I want to be successful, so I can inspire and change the world with my music”!
When he’s not on stage performing, Norwood lends his talent to raise awareness for Lost-N-Found Youth, an organization dedicated to getting the 750+ LGBTQ homeless youth off the streets of Atlanta. He also supports Best Friends Animal Society, a nonprofit organization and animal welfare society dedicated to finding pets loving homes. And, Nuci’s Space, a non-profit health and music resource center in Athens, GA. A portion of all proceeds are split between these organizations.
