[edit] Early days
He was the "body" of the group being the most physically fit, and very interested in sports. Wood was keen on his appearance and his own physical fitness. He also choreographed a lot of the dance moves for the band.
He and fellow group member, Donnie Wahlberg, worked together and produced tracks for Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, a group headed by Wahlberg's younger brother Mark. During the early 1990s, he produced and made his one-time directoral debut on the music video for Call It What You Want. Wood also produced some tracks on fellow bandmate Joe McIntyre's debut solo album.
[edit] Solo career
After New Kids on the Block disbanded in 1994, Wood decided to pursue a solo career. He released his first solo album on 22 July 2003.

Recently he released "Coming Home", 2007 and in 1999 he released an album "Room Full Of Smoke" as D-Fuse.
