He has also worked within Deveria and I-15. He also appeared in Tequila Express.
In 1994, Wood decided to pursue a solo career. He released his first solo album in July 2003, entitled Second Face. All the songs on the album were produced by Wood and his friend, Pete Masitti. In 1999, he released the album Room Full Of Smoke as D-Fuse, and in 2008 he released Coming Home. Wood operates his own record label called Damage Records. In 2009, Wood decided to release another album, this time called Coming Home 2: This Time to Joey and Heather, featuring the two singles "Just Working Out" and "Breakfast".
Wood featured in MTV's follow up to Totally Scott-Lee called Totally Boyband, and was featured in a new group with other former boyband members such as Dane Bowers. The band's name was Upper Street with a single charting at #26, but the charting did not meet the expectations, and Upper Street disbanded shortly thereafter.
In the summer of 2008, Wood had reunited with the members of New Kids On The Block, following a successful new album and worldwide concert tour.

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or career:
“Well, on the official record you’re my son. But on this post you’re just another trooper. You heard me tell the recruits what I need from them. Twice that I will expect from you.... You’ve chosen my way of life. I hope you have the guts enough to endure it. But put outa your mind any romantic ideas that it’s a way to glory. It’s a life of suffering and of hardship and uncompromising devotion to your oath and your duty.”
—James Kevin McGuinness, and John Ford. Lt. Col. Kirby Yorke (John Wayne)
“I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
