1WillAye, hailing from Oak Cliff, Dallas, TX, ignited his passion for music at 15 by throwing a birthday party inspired by a high school DJ. His journey led to accolades such as being the #3 HBCU DJ of 2016, touring with major artists, and achieving RIAA Platinum certification for producing Megan Thee Stallion’s hit single "Sex Talk." After a transformative experience in 2023, he embraced a new artistic path as The Wizard, poised to leave a lasting legacy.

Growing up, 1WillAye’s musical influences ranged from Jagged Edge and Bow Wow to his parents’ love for 80s/90s ballads and southern rap. He found inspiration in artists like Big K.R.I.T., Dom Kennedy, Rick Ross, and Curren$y, with Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West standing as his greatest of all time.
