WHAT IT IS: WizTheMc describes his sound as “borderless,” which is fitting for the artist who spent his formative years on three different continents. The 22-year-old singer/rapper/producer first saw viral success in 2020 when his track “For a Minute” took off, generating over 85m global streams and subsequently landing him a record deal with Elliot Grainge’s 10K Projects and Homemade Projects. Now, this emerging artist is gearing up for the next chapter of his career with the EP Where Silence Feels Good, due on 2/4. Featuring singles like “Everything,” “Break,” “Do It Over” and “Stoned Nights,” the project showcases Wiz’s dark sensibility, emotive rasp and youthful attitude.
