Bio:
Jean Michel, better known as Wise, is an aspiring rapper straight out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Like most artists growing up Wise began to write poetry in his early years, which then progressed into lyrics and he’s never looked back. Wise discovered his passion for music through some of his major influences including Nas, Tupac, and Eminem. He’s inspired by the stories they tell within their lyrics, he believes these stories have impacted people everywhere and he would be honored to keep their legacy going for many years to come. Wise is the oldest of his mother’s children and often mentions in his raps that being a boy under his mother’s wing gave him nothing more than tough love. This tough love and constant discipline made him one of few members in his family to graduate instead of straying away to street activity. His mother is his most important fan even though she doesn’t fully believe he could make it in the rap game, not because of talent but due to non-financial resources. He uses the negativity as fuel to keep moving forward and make his mother proud. He says “it’s a constant battle going against someone whom you consider to be your most important fan but in reality it kind of strengthens your passion and lyrics when your back is against the wall.” Although Wise is continuing his education in a field non-related to music, he will never give up on his dream and knows that one day he’ll inspire someone with his same story to pursue their dream knowing that all it takes is constant effort and perfecting your craft. Wise is currently gearing up for his first official mixtape release at the end of December titled “The Book of Honor”, with each chapter, or song, he plans to let his listeners know that not only is he going against the grain to impress the viewers but also his most important fan, his mother.
