OUR WHY
“We do it for the love…
The money happens,
thank God. But, you know,
we feel like we are
the money.
Take care of yourself,
take care of your
surroundings and
your folks, and you're
rich from that.
Life is good.”
- DWAYNE P. WIGGINS
As a guitarist, producer, composer, philanthropist, mentor, and founding member of legendary R&B group Tony! Toni! Toné!, Dwayne P. Wiggins built an incomparable legacy across the music industry and throughout his community. From his hometown of Oakland, California, to the world, Dwayne spread his love and passion for the power of music, shaping countless young musicians through mentorship and artist development support. In addition to his remarkable career contributions, Dwayne showed up consistently with care and generosity for his family and personal network as a devoted husband, father, sibling, uncle, cousin, and friend.
As we continue to grieve in light of his life being cut short, we are humbled and honored to carry forward his powerful influence through the work of the Dwayne P. Wiggins Foundation.
