I Met This Girl No L2

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Wiz Da Wildcard grew up listening to the infectious sounds of Dancehall music. Artists like Buju Banton and Beeni Man informed his musical style at an early age. At 14 he moved to NY and began a second musical love affair with rap.

After he finished high school, he got into Stony Brook University on Long Island. While there he and some friends formed the COALITION, an organization for people who liked to perform. Together they produced several shows and compilation cds. However, while he focused on music his academics suffered and with only a semester left he dropped out of college. 

Becoming a rapper was not an easy task for Wiz. He found that the music industry held as much politics as the degree he forfeited and required deep business savvy. He returned to school and completed his bachelor’s and added to that a master’s degree. 

Wiz’s wordplay has always been a mix of form and function. He finds ways to state astonishing facts and give graphic details without offending the listener. He also believes that some of the best rappers, like Notorious B.I.G, Busta Rhymes and Heavy D have been Jamaicans from NY. He is in good company.

In 2013, Wiz formed BrewStar Entertainment, and began working on his debut album “Overnight Sensation.” He has since attracted the attention of a platinum selling producer, a publicist, a stylist, a filmmaker and countless other supporters. He is building a team focused on success. His first single, “Today, Tonight,” will be released on iTunes this fall. Not bad for college dropout turned rapper.
