After an armed confrontation at his home, years of harassment, and an extraordinary personal investment in uncovering answers, multi-platinum music executive William H. Moseley explains why he is prepared to put a successful entertainment career aside and enter the political arena.
By William H. Moseley | All Access Insider | First-Person Statement
At approximately 2:45 a.m. on September 3, 2025, I opened my front door expecting a DoorDash delivery. Two people stood outside. At least one had a weapon.
Within seconds, I was fighting for control of that weapon. The struggle continued inside my home. I took it away and forced both intruders out. One suffered a serious injury to an eye.
I didn’t know whether they came to rob me, hurt me, or kill me. I knew what could happen if I lost control of that situation.
I had ordered dinner. Instead, I ended up fighting armed strangers in my own home.
Those cowards picked the wrong house.
They also had absolutely no idea who they were dealing with.
For seven years, I’d endured threats, harassment, attacks on my reputation, and interference with my businesses. People contacted my clients, targeted professional relationships, and tried to drag those close to me into disputes that had nothing to do with them.
While they were busy trying to destroy my life, I was building a career most people would consider extraordinarily successful.
The Career They Couldn’t Destroy
I’m a multi-platinum music executive, songwriter, and executive producer whose career includes Grammy-nominated projects, internationally recognized artists, and the management of commercially significant music catalogs.
I’ve worked across hip-hop, reggae, and country music, developing projects, negotiating distribution and publishing agreements, and managing recordings that have reached audiences around the world.
Through William Moseley Agency, Kingmaker, and Thug World Music Group, I’ve helped build businesses, develop artists, protect intellectual property, and manage catalogs containing music that has influenced generations of listeners.
I know the value of a hit record, the complexity of managing valuable rights, and what it takes to build lasting relationships in an industry where reputation matters.
I’ve spent years negotiating agreements, bringing people together, finding leverage in difficult situations, and making decisions where substantial money and people’s livelihoods were at stake.
I’m a natural negotiator. I know how to read a room, how to recognize a bluff, and how to turn a difficult situation into an opportunity. I can sit across a boardroom table from someone who disagrees with me and still find a way to get the job done.
And when that job requires getting down in the dirt and sand, I have never been afraid to do it myself.
That’s how I built my businesses.
The people trying to interfere with my career couldn’t stop the work. The companies kept growing, the partnerships expanded, and the deals kept moving.
They spent seven years trying to make me fail. I spent those years becoming more successful.
And there is a certain irony worth pointing out about the two strangers who appeared at my home.
If they thought showing up with a weapon and playing the part of hardened thugs would impress me, they had picked an unusual audience.
I co-own Thug World Music Group.
Sorry, fellas. That was cute.
But bringing a weapon to someone’s home is no joke. That confrontation could have ended very differently, and I had every intention of finding out what had brought those men to my door.
I Had Warned the Authorities. Then I Found My Answers.
Nearly two years before the confrontation, I had reported threatening conduct to the FBI, including public remarks about repeatedly striking me with a baseball bat.
On November 8, 2023, an FBI agent confirmed in writing that my complaint had been documented and transferred internally. He explained that he no longer had visibility into what happened after that transfer.
The warnings were documented. I continued reporting incidents, preserving evidence, and following the procedures Americans are instructed to follow.
Then came September 3, 2025.
After the armed confrontation, someone communicating under the name EyeHatcher contacted me and told me to kill myself, adding the words, “Not a threat.”
One of the intruders had suffered a serious eye injury. Now someone using a name that appeared to reference that injury was sending disturbing communications.
Other messages followed. Some suggested I was being watched. Disturbing imagery appeared, and a stuffed animal smeared with ketchup later appeared at my home.
I took those incidents seriously. The timing, communications, and apparent references to the confrontation were significant investigative leads, even though none established the sender’s identity by itself.
I had spent years reporting incidents and trying to obtain answers. After what happened at my home, I decided to commit my own resources to finding them.
I hired professional assistance, pursued records, examined communications, followed connections, and invested extraordinary sums of money into identifying the people I believed were involved.
I approached the work the way I approach a complicated business problem. Establish the facts, identify the relevant people, examine the relationships, eliminate unsupported theories, and follow the records.
The financial cost was staggering. Every dollar could have gone toward another company, another artist, another recording project, or my family’s future.
I invested it because protecting the people close to me and establishing the truth mattered more than another business opportunity.
And after years of work, I reached the breakthrough I’d been pursuing.
I found my answers.
I identified the people my evidence connects to the long-running harassment and interference. I uncovered names, communications, records, and relationships that brought years of incidents into focus.
Two individuals remain unidentified: the men who confronted me at my home.
Whether anyone arranged or directed that confrontation remains a matter for criminal investigators to establish. I will not confuse an unanswered question with a proven fact.
But I now have answers about the people involved in the broader conduct I have documented, and information that I believe warrants serious official examination.
I didn’t need another collection of rumors or anonymous accusations. I needed names, records, and evidence that could be examined.
I invested my own money and professional resources to develop that information.
I have my answers. Now what are the institutions entrusted with enforcing our laws going to do?
That is where the responsibility changes hands.
Law enforcement has the authority to investigate criminal conduct, examine records, interview witnesses, and establish whether the evidence supports charges.
The courts have the responsibility to decide the matters properly brought before them.
I have done what I can as a private citizen. I will continue pursuing lawful accountability, but I cannot exercise powers that properly belong to public institutions.
And my experience with those institutions has raised questions far bigger than the people who targeted me.
Oregon Politics: Plenty of Process, Not Enough Accountability
While I was investing my own money to pursue answers about threats and intimidation, government agencies were being invoked against me in separate communications and business disputes.
The names of the FBI, IRS, DEA, TSA, and other agencies appeared in circumstances I interpreted as attempts to intimidate me or interfere with my professional life.
In one business matter, I sought straightforward answers about music authorization, distribution, and payment. Instead, I received warnings about being taught a lesson and being put in jail.
An Oregon Department of Justice complaint followed.
I believe the complaint relied on false and retaliatory accusations. The matter ultimately closed, but not before I spent substantial time and money gathering records, preparing responses, and meeting official deadlines.
At one point, I was given three business days to answer supplemental allegations.
Now, you’ve got to appreciate Oregon politics.
The government could find me in three business days when it wanted an answer. After years of reporting threats, I was still trying to find out who had accepted responsibility for examining the broader situation.
Oregon has an extraordinary talent for paperwork.
Every agency has a procedure. Every department has a contact number. Every official seems to know precisely which office you should call next.
Somewhere in Salem, there’s probably a committee studying why all the other committees haven’t accomplished anything.
I’d find it hilarious if the consequences weren’t so expensive.
I respect public servants who work hard, act with integrity, and take responsibility for the people they serve. I have no patience for political leadership that confuses activity with accomplishment.
I’ve negotiated complicated deals, managed valuable assets, and operated businesses where missed deadlines and bad decisions have real financial consequences.
When a problem needs solving, explaining how complicated it is doesn’t make it disappear.
Government has different obligations from business. It must safeguard constitutional rights, exercise its powers lawfully, and treat citizens fairly.
Those responsibilities should make accountability more important, not less.
Public service is a responsibility, not a privilege.
I’ve also pursued civil litigation concerning publications, communications, and conduct affecting my professional relationships. I’m representing myself and presenting my claims through the judicial process.
I believe in the First Amendment, individual liberty, and the constitutional rights of people who disagree with me. I also believe that freedom and accountability must coexist within the law.
My civil claims belong in court. Evidence of potentially criminal conduct belongs before the appropriate investigative authorities.
I have no interest in revenge.
I want the facts established, responsibility determined, and the law enforced wherever the evidence supports it.
But the experience changed something much larger than my view of the people involved.
It changed what I intend to do with my future.
From Entertainment Success to Public Responsibility
I had the resources to pursue answers.
I could hire professionals, invest substantial money, examine records, and devote years of effort to a problem that had already cost me far too much.
Even with those advantages, the financial and personal burden was extraordinary.
Most Americans don’t have that luxury.
A father working two jobs cannot spend years financing investigative work while supporting his family. A mother protecting her children cannot put her career on hold indefinitely to navigate agencies and unanswered reports. A small business owner cannot continuously divert resources from employees and operations to resolve every threat and dispute alone.
Those citizens have the same rights I do.
“Accountability shouldn’t depend on who you know, how much you earn, or which party you support.”
That principle has become central to my outlook on public service.
I have built a lucrative entertainment career. I work with talented people, manage valuable music, negotiate substantial agreements, and have the professional independence to pursue opportunities I’ve spent years creating.
I could continue doing exactly that.
There are companies to expand, artists to develop, catalogs to manage, and another generation of music projects waiting to be built.
I’ve earned the ability to choose my future.
And after everything I’ve experienced, I’m prepared to make a different choice.
I’m prepared to put substantial parts of my entertainment career aside and enter the political arena.
Not because the entertainment industry stopped offering opportunities. Not because my businesses failed or I ran out of things to accomplish.
I’m considering that decision because I have seen how much work remains to be done to make our institutions more accountable to ordinary Americans.
I’ve spent years protecting the interests of artists, partners, clients, friends, and family. I know how to take responsibility for people who depend on me.
Now I’m prepared to consider extending that responsibility beyond my own companies and professional relationships.
“Public service is a responsibility, not a privilege.”
That is the principle I intend to carry into public life.
Public office is not a reward for political connections, a personal entitlement, or permission to forget the people whose hard work supports the institutions we depend on.
Leadership means exercising sound judgment, respecting the rights of others, and accepting responsibility for decisions.
I’m not interested in measuring every problem by which political party gets the credit.
I am not a Democrat.
I am not a Republican.
I am an American.
I believe in God, family, individual liberty, free enterprise, personal responsibility, the rule of law, and the opportunity to build a better life through honest work.
“Hard work should build a future, not just pay for another day.”
I’ve spent my career taking risks, creating opportunities, and building businesses. I know what it takes to turn an idea into something that supports other people.
I believe Americans deserve meaningful opportunities to build wealth, own homes, establish businesses, support families, and create something lasting through their efforts.
Our institutions should protect those opportunities, use taxpayer money responsibly, and treat the citizens they serve with respect.
“America’s strength has always depended on ordinary people doing extraordinary things.”
Those people are the workers, parents, veterans, entrepreneurs, tradespeople, artists, and business owners who take risks and carry responsibilities that rarely make the evening news.
They are the foundation of this country.
They deserve public officials who recognize that serving them is an obligation, not a personal favor.
And I believe the same determination I’ve brought to building businesses, negotiating difficult agreements, and protecting the people close to me can be put to work on challenges far beyond the entertainment industry.
The Next Chapter
I didn’t go looking for politics.
I went looking for answers.
The events that brought me here began with years of harassment, reached my front door in the middle of the night, and ultimately led me to spend extraordinary amounts of my own money identifying the people connected to what I had experienced.
I have the answers my investigation produced. The identities of the two intruders and any involvement by others in that confrontation remain matters for law enforcement.
The legal proceedings and investigative work will continue through the appropriate channels.
But those disputes will not define the rest of my life.
I have spent my career building companies, developing artists, managing valuable music, and negotiating agreements that created opportunities for other people.
I’m proud of that work.
Walking away from substantial opportunities would be a serious sacrifice, but I am prepared to make it because I believe I can contribute something valuable in public service.
I know how to negotiate when interests conflict. I know how to organize resources, make difficult decisions, and take responsibility for outcomes.
I also know that leadership means more than fighting for your own interests.
It means recognizing when the people who depend on the system deserve something better.
I opened my front door that September morning expecting dinner. I never imagined the events that followed would force me to reconsider the direction of my career.
But they did.
The people who tried to interfere with my future never succeeded in stopping me from building it. What they could never have anticipated was that the experience would change what I wanted to build next.
I have spent years fighting for the people closest to me.
Now I am prepared to bring that same commitment into a larger arena.
Not to settle personal scores. Not to pursue revenge. Not for another title.
For a government that answers to the people, protects individual rights, respects hard work, and treats accountability as an obligation.
I have built a career that gave me the freedom to choose what comes next.
And I intend to use that freedom for something that matters.
They picked the wrong house.
They picked the wrong man.
But this story was never going to end with the people who targeted me.
It ends with the decision I make about what comes next.
Public service is a responsibility, not a privilege.
