Band Experience
He's first band experience was a crucial moment. In college, he was tasked with collaborating with others to see how well he could work in a team. It wasn’t without its challenges—there was drama, as you might expect—but despite that, They managed to come together and make it work. It was a lesson in perseverance and cooperation, two qualities that are as important in life as they are in music.In that very same first band, he started as both a singer and a rapper. At the time, he wasn't particularly confident in he's rapping abilities, so he decided to focus on my singing. 'I poured my energy into improving my vocal skills,' he said, determined to make the most of the opportunity before him.As the first year progressed, he realized that becoming a well-rounded musician required more than just vocal ability. He began to branch out, dedicating himself to learning other instruments. His second year in college was a time of exploration and growth. he focused on the guitar, bass, piano, and drumming—though he was already quite comfortable with the drums, so his attention naturally shifted towards mastering the guitar and understanding chords.The next band he joined was a pivotal experience for him. he had the chance to play drums, guitar, and sing—sometimes all at the sme year. This experience was invaluable in honing his skills and pushing him to become a more versatile and well-rounded musician.

In closing, his journey in music has been one of continuous learning, collaboration, and growth. Every band, every song, every chord has brought him closer to the musician he aspire to be. He was grateful for the lessons learned along the way, and he look forward to what lies ahead in this ever-evolving journey.
In this band, he turned to a friend—a talented guitarist—to help him with the basics of the instrument. He patiently taught him simple chords like G, Em, Am, C, and Dm.

Personal Musical Journey:His musical journey began at the age of five. He was actively involved in dancing and having fun with his siblings and friends on the streets of my home country. His initial exposure to music was profoundly influenced by Michael Jackson.
He was captivated by michael Jackson's performance, particularly by his ability to combine singing and dancing seamlessly. The first Michael Jackson song he ever heard was "Rock With You," which left a lasting impression on him. He inquired about the performer from the barber who owned the TV, and he informed him it was Michael Jackson. At that time, he was unaware of modern technologies like phones or the internet, but the impact of Jackson's performance stayed with him.Growing up, his brother and him would engage in friendly competitions to see who was better at playing guitar. Lacking access to real instruments, they crafted their own using available materials. They would shape wood to the identity of a guitar and use strong strings to create makeshift guitars. Although They did not understand chords, They enjoyed strumming and singing, which laid the foundation for his enduring passion for music.
Transition to Music
In the early year 2021, Wizzystar applied to the Music Performance Art program at Hillsborough College and was accepted. His studies at Level 2 music were incredibly fulfilling. His first major performance was the college’s Welcome Gig, which was a remarkable experience. Everything—from the rehearsals to the final performance—was executed flawlessly. The support from the teachers and the opportunity to meet and collaborate with new people significantly enhanced his experience.He's music instructor, Matt Galloway, has been exceptionally supportive. During his audition, he demonstrated his abilities of drumming, and that day, he also met fellow students (Lol, Jayden, Josh, and Beni). They would later become his bandmates.
