When you think of this artist and the road he has chosen in the music world, the magic he creates with just a few strings of the guitar and the vibrating passion in his voice, echoing across thousands of crazed fans. This amazing experience leaves music lovers wondering what is next in line for the R& B , Hip hop artist, Haitian bad boy, Wyclef Jean.
The Grammy award winning, social activist, producer, artist has not left the scene since the Fugees made major waves with the track, "Killing me softly".
The Haitian born has been drawn to music from an early age getting his first guitar in high school and to say the least, Wyclef's career has been history since. Focusing mostly on world issues, a passion the artist says that has been strongly influenced by his roots and his aim which is to connect generations.
The artist has been a representation of the Caribbean and Haitian culture in particular, however he has not dropped short in ensuring that his music has hit all corners of the globe allowing them to enjoy his superb artistic talents.
Collaborations with the likes of Shakira in hips don't lie, the song and was number one for weeks and to this day one of the top selling ring tones ( yeah even on their phone) though Shakira's hips worked miracles. It was Wyclef's flavor and the guitar solo that stole hearts. Other fabulous collaborations includes Santana, Lil Wayne, Mary J Blige, Bounty Killer, Whitney Houston, Destiny's Child, Sublime, Simply Red, Mya, Sinéad O'Connor, Kimberly Scott, Mick Jagger, Canibus, The Black Eyed Peas and Eric Benét.
With his melodic voice stretching across all racial barriers, highlighting social injustices and modern day genocides, Wyclef can be seen as a musician that has taken his music to heart. Respected for his passion for unique creations, it was no surprise when Jean went across genres to explore the Desi genre releasing track "Hollywood meets Bollywood" remix, featuring Abhishek Bachchan and produced by Aadesh Shrivastava.
There is no denying Wyclef Jean is the "Perfect Gentleman" giving music to the world existing with a strong background and asking to "take me as I am", his positive lyrics does not promote a "911" call. Mr Jean, Sak Pase' (welcomes) us to his side of the world and what his eyes see and there is no doubt that "a million voices" has heard and continues to listen.see less biography
