A sound-changing artist and an impervious celebrity, Aston Martin Piff began his career as a preteen delivering smooth R&B - but through years of maturation and reinventing the mixtape game, he has developed into a versatile rapper with a massive body of work. One so inventive and creative that it makes his famous claim of being the "Prince of New England" worth considering.

Born Michael Dejion Wilder and raised in the infamous Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, he was not a straight-A student but never felt his intelligence couldnt expand so it became more then a report card. He found music was the best way to express himself and after taking on the street names 'Yung Star', then 'Yung Piff', he began writing rhymes. Combining a strong work ethic with aggressive self-promotion, the 16-year-old convinced the Math Line Records label to take him on, with in-house producer, Square Route, the 1999 album Yung Azmar was set to be released, but Aston then found himself on a dark road in the gang life. He was shot in the torso during the killing of a best friend, pushing back and finally deciding to never release the album.

Aston' eventually dropped the street life and street names ' Piff , 'Yung Piff' and 'Yung Star', in order to separate himself from the others in New England and to began to create a new image based on the maturation he now felt he empowered.

In 2002, Aston would appear on Boston's R&B Princess Rose's hit single Meet Me, as it appeared on Rose's album. As a result, Aston was then signed to a group deal with the group "The Funk B's", also known as "Marky Mark And The Funky Bunch" featuring the hit single track, 4 Seasons. Aston continued working with Scott Ross, as he was trying to launch their career. Aston grew much closer to Scotts fellow producer for the album, "D Sharp". When Aston realized that the "Funky Bunch" was not taking off in the direction he had hoped, he left the label and returned to CBM Music Group as CEO. CBM Music Group is a label in which Aston began with then partner, "Free", in 2000. By 2010 Aston had released a mixtape entitled Piff the Magic dragon, which many have referred to as "One of Mr. Astons best projects."

Aston became enamored with the mixtape world after Piff the Magic Dragon Hosted by DJ Jack Frost drew so much attention from the local hip-hop crowd. He uses these underground releases to drum up anticipation for his first official album, the breakthrough effort Love HitchHike. The album having different production on it, and the rhymes he laid on the tracks showed significant growth. His marketing skills had become sharper, too, and it was no mistake that the album's a hit. Supported by popular DJ's such as DJ Jack Frost and DJ Hussle Simmons from Boston's Jamn' 94.5 & 96.9, DJ Tone Rock from P. Diddy's Ciroc Boys out of Miami. Astons' tracks began to make their way into clubs and on radio stations up and down the East Coast.

Currently Aston is working on finishing up to release his first independent album Love HitchHike. In the mean time he can also be found working on a couple LP's entitled, Karma Sutra & I.S.S ( I Solemnly Swear ) where he shows both sides of his Libra scale. In Astons' downtime he can be found helping fellow local artists "find themselves" in the music world by daily coaching and positive words of praise to encourage all to follow their dreams and never give up.
