Just Another Day
I was introduced to DJ WIG quite some time ago through our mutual friend Robert Jackson aka C Stylez of Coke Boys South.
Upon being introduced, DJ Wig and I have engaged in many conversations surrounding music as well as production. In 2014,C Styles suggested that Wig an I do a mixtape with one another it was called "LADIES CHOICE R&B VOL 42". For me this was a huge accomplishment, however, there is still a lot I have to learn in terms of putting a mixtape together.
Wig is not only a phenomenal DJ but he also has goals and aspirations he would like to enhance in order to further his career. He is passionate about what he does and is humble with every experience and challenge he faces while in this industry. This is just an introduction of my colleague and friend DJ INTERNATIONAL WIG!!

The albums covered various genres such as Disco, Soul, R&B, Hip Hop, Swing Music, Ballroom, Reggae, Jazz and more. In middle school, Wig and his friends created a Dance Hall sound system called, "Black Heart". They would participate in DJ battles, and was also booked for parties, and clubs. In addition to DJing his cousin Rob Bell, and Super Producer Jah Born stared a company Called Galaxy 9 Productions. The duo were The Producers For Eyrikah Badu's smash hit "On and On". This was when we really got a first class taste of production, and Studio life. By 1997, DJ Wigs had a passion for Audio Engineering. To perfect his craft, he moved to Jamaica to study Audio Engineering, and would soon work at Anchor Recording Studios. Wig dedication to perfecting his craft, led to him recording music for Reggae's Biggest acts such as: Elephant Man, Beenie Man, Luciano, and many more. With his quality mixing, Wigs kept those top acts as clients, and always worked hard to better himself in Audio engineering field. In 2001, Wigs returned to the U.S. by way of Houston, TX. He began as a relief DJ for Houston's DJ Sun, and DJ Chill. Shortly afterwards, Wigs worked his way up the ranks to begin DJing at some of Houston's top nightclubs, including Pink Monkey, Maxx's, Shadowbar, and Level. Wigs had learned the art of DJing, and knew the right songs to play to set the tone at these nightclubs. He would become a regular with the club-owners, and local promoters. By 2003, he met MTV's "Making the Band" artist, "Mysterious". He soon became her Dj, as they toured various states as she promoted her upcoming mixtape.
