Whoow whoow
You’ve got the best of my love….
Let’s groove tonight!
Share the spice of life!….
Wyann Vaughn comes from soul music royalty. Daughter of Grammy award winning Wanda Vaughn of the sister group "The Emotions" and Earth, Wind & Fire's "Let's Groove" writer Wayne Vaughn, Wyann mixes timeless R&B vocals with a funky edge. At eight years old, her brother introduced her to rap music and she hasn’t looked back since. From studios to stages, working with everyone from Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar to The Temptations, Heatwave, The Stylistics, and more; Wyann Vaughn possesses vast experience as both a recording and a performing artist by blending hip hop styling with crafty singing and songwriting.
As a self-proclaimed "edutainer", Vaughn also struts her stuff with scholarly confidence as she holds her Master of Social Work (MSW) degree and teaches as well as academically counsels at Pasadena City College's Ujima Program. Outside of carrying on the family legacy by touring with her mother and aunt as the third member of The Emotions, Wyann belongs to the supergroup The Pollyseeds under the direction of Terrace Martin. Vaughn was also hand-selected by The Good Doc himself to cohost "The Pharmacy with Dr. Dre" on Apple Music's Beats1 radio alongside west coast hip hop giants like Xzibit, DJ Pooh and others. Vaughn also launched "Raise It Up, Wy! the podcast" where she kicks "OG game to real ones only" by raising listeners' awareness, vibrations, and capacities for love.
Wyann arguably expresses herself most vividly through poetry. Vaughn developed her love for poetry at 16 years old. Studying Maya Angelou for an eleventh grade AP English course, Wyann presented original poetry alongside Angelou's. The response from her instructor was so overwhelmingly positive and encouraging that Vaughn felt motivated to continue writing and reciting her poetry. In 2008, she self-published her debut poetry book, entitled 13, and gifted her eleventh grade English instructor the first publicly available copy. Wyann released her debut album ‘Been in it a Minute’ to all streaming services on October 1st, 2021.
Wyann Vaughn's future works include more poetry books, more music, and a promise to capture hearts and touch souls everywhere.

Edutainment
🎓 + 🎤 = EDUTAINMENT
Or, in other words:
Education plus entertainment equals “edutainment”. As an Edutainer,
Wyann Vaughn strives to entertain authentically in order to teach
listeners and readers alike to discover more about themselves and
where they are in life. As a Master of Social Work (MSW), Wyann is a
trained therapist. While she does not practice traditional therapy,
Wyann transmits her wealth of knowledge regarding the self and how
people develop themselves in relationships through her art. In
addition to didactically entertaining, Vaughn also educates directly
with an entertaining flair as: (1) a professor at Pasadena City
College via the Ujima Program, (2) an educator and co-creator for both
the YoYo School of Hip Hop (YYSOHH) and the 1500 Sound Academy, and
(3) a freelance motivational speaker.

If a reader dares to artistically let go and just create, then Write Out has successfully fulfilled its purpose.
