Rueben Wood, originally from Brunswick, Georgia, began his career in the entertainment industry as a Hip Hop and R&B artist known by the name Yung Bank. This early experience on stage provided him with an understanding of the industry from a performer’s perspective. After some time as an artist, Wood shifted his focus from performing to behind-the-scenes roles, a transition prompted by changes within the music and entertainment landscape. He started producing for corporate infomercials and film scores, which naturally led to a broader interest in media.
At 24 years old, Wood embarked on a new path, evolving into a media consultant, celebrity journalist, film director, and radio host. In 2012, he founded his media company and print magazine outlet, Spaced Out Magazine, which later expanded into SOM Networks. This move marked a significant turning point in his career, allowing him to build a brand centered around media and entertainment. His roles as a celebrity journalist and radio host gave him opportunities to interact with various entertainers, celebrities, and business owners.

This collaboration has contributed to the growth of both brands, establishing them as prominent platforms for entertainment and content, with Wood bringing a relaxed yet informative style to his interviews.
