Biography
Only Won — stage name of Baldwin Chiu — emerged as a rapper, actor, producer, and stunt performer who bridged hip-hop and Asian American representation. Born May 17, 1974, in the US, he began rapping professionally in 1991 after absorbing Run DMC, Will Smith, dcTalk, and T-Bone. His signature move: writing and performing rap, beatboxing, and singing in both English and Cantonese, a bilingual approach some credit as a first for Chinese American hip-hop. He was once labeled the "Christian" version of Jin the MC, anchoring him to a faith-forward lane in rap. As a Screen Actors Guild member, he expanded into acting and choreographed stunt work, refusing a single-lane career. Life path 7 suggests introspection and depth — fitting for an artist who chose substance over trend-chasing. Taurus-born (May 17) and rooted in US soil, he stayed prolific across decades.
