Down with Webster

Down with Webster or DWW is a 7 man pop rock / hip hop band from The Beaches area of Toronto, Ontario who signed with Universal Motown in April 2009. The group consists of Andy "Bucky" Buck and Cameron Hunter on Vocals, Patrick Gillett on Vocals & Guitars, Tyler Armes on Bass and Keyboards, Andrew Martino (Marty) on Drums, Kap Oneoh as the Hype man and Dave Ferris (Diggy) as the DJ. During live shows the band occasionally uses a three piece horn section.

History

In 2008, DWW won the Rogers Mobile/Universal Music best unsigned artist in Canada award and in 2009 both KISS front man Gene Simmons and Timbaland expressed interest in signing the band to their respective labels. According to Timbaland, "That group is the most amazing and creative, innovative group that’s going to come out in 2010." However, it wasn't the terms of directions they wanted to go at that time when Gene Simmons wanted to sign Down with Webster, and they already decided to go with Motown when Timbaland wanted to sign them. [1][2]

The band's debut EP Time to Win Vol. 1 was released on October 6, 2009, and the single "Rich Girl$" debuted on the Canadian Hot 100 at #47 for the week of October 24, 2009, and peaked at #21 on the issue of January 9, 2010. The follow-up single "Your Man" was released to Canadian radio stations in January 2010.[3] Since then it has peaked at #12 on the Canadian Hot 100, outperforming their debut single on the chart.[4] In April 2010, both of the hit singles were certified platinum in digital downloads by the CRIA[5].
