The Story · Albany, N.Y.
Started at Nine. Built on Vinyl.
Brooklyn-born. Albany-proven. Thirty-plus years deep.
Act I · Brooklyn
The Come-Up
Before the bookings, the boards, and the Mob — a kid in Brooklyn, counting bars.
Rhyming at Nine
Brooklyn-born, Wiz picked up the pen before he ever touched a fader — a nine-year-old working out how words land on a beat.
Cutting Records by Twelve
By twelve he was cutting records. The turntables stopped being furniture and became the trade — and the crates became the classroom.
Making Beats at Fifteen
At fifteen came production. Not content just to play records, he started building them — the ear moved behind the boards.
The Artist Era
He came up as an artist first, opening for the architects of the culture. Once he knew exactly what he had, he saw the bigger lane — and it ran behind the turntables.
Opened For
- Jay-Z
- Mobb Deep
- Nas
- The Fugees
- The Lost Boyz
- The LOX
- Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz
The Party Scene
He built his name as a party-scene DJ, rocking alongside DJ Clue and Lazy K — and learned that the room, not the record, is the instrument.
A playlist plays songs. A DJ controls the night.
Act II · Underground to Mainstream
The Mixtape Era
The tapes moved first. Then the industry moved with them.
Out of the Underground
When Wiz moved behind the turntables for good, the mixtape was still an underground economy — ignored by the business it was quietly feeding. He became one of the DJs who carried that culture out of the underground and into the mainstream.
The Lineage
Nobody builds an ear alone. The DJs who shaped his creativity and his progression into the mixtape business:
Influences
- DJ Juice
- Chill Will FTE
- Buck Wild
- Ron G
- D-Demo
- Kid Kapri
- The E Brothers
The Run
The work itself is the receipt — completed and released projects with the heavyweights of that era.
Projects With
- DJ Chuck T
- Smooth Denali
- Lt. Dan
- King Smig
- Mick Boogie
- DJ Jelly
- Clinton Sparks
- Doo Wop
- DJ Showtime
Act III · Est. 2004
The Mob
By 2004 the vision had outgrown his own name: take the family vibe of a local crew and give it the reach of a national DJ network. That year he founded NoizeMob DJ’s.
The crew had believers from the start — early support included former Tech Nitions Magazine writer Charles “Tapemasta” Emery and the late Justo Faison.

The Press Run
The name has run in The Source, Ozone, and XXL’s Scratch — and held three straight weeks on MTV’s Mixtape Mondays. A member of Justo’s Mixtape All-Stars and Sirius Satellite Radio’s Team BackSpin, he’s been tapped to judge DJ battles and beat-making competitions.
Behind the boards, the credits kept their own record.
Production Credits
- Mickey Factz
- Jaz The Rapper
Production credits run from Mickey Factz to battle-rap royalty Jaz The Rapper.

Interlude
The Ear.
The ear was early — he and the NoizeMob crossed paths with Nicki Minaj and Wiz Khalifa before the major contracts came.
Taste like that doesn’t guess. It knows.
Act V · Now
The Operator
The history is the reason to call. The operating standard is the reason to book.
The Craft, Sharpened
He sharpened the craft under Jimi Kendrix — former Murder Inc. Gold/Platinum producer — and songwriter Tiffany Villareal, a former Universal recording artist.
The Focus, Today
Today the focus is sharp: Hip Hop, Pop & R&B production and songwriting — the next chapter of a long, loud legacy. DJ. Tastemaker. Brand Developer.
What Thirty Years Teaches
Thirty years of nightlife teaches things a playlist never will — how a bar breathes, how an event finds its rhythm, how a room full of strangers becomes a party.
Wiz brings professional sound, deep musical range, and the kind of reliability that gets a DJ invited back: 25+ years of N.Y.S. Service, 50+ public and private 518 venues, and a working knowledge of the bar, restaurant, and event-planning world from the inside.
