WizTheMc

Originating from Cape Town in 1999, WizTheMC spent his earliest years in South Africa before his family relocated to Lüneburg, Germany, when he turned two. A rapper whose work spans multiple genres, he crafts an upbeat, sunlit sound that blends rapped verses with melodic singing and crisp guitar hooks, a balance evident on the 2020 mixtape Growing Teeth and the 2022 EP Where Silence Feels Good.

In 2015 he joined friends to launch the collective NO HOMES, whose tracks gained traction until the members eventually parted ways. Two years later he relocated suddenly to Toronto, committing to a solo career and spending the following twenty-four months building relationships with fellow musicians in the city. He issued the EPs Blessings in Disguise and Backintoronto in 2018, then delivered his debut full-length mixtape, Growing Teeth, at the start of 2020.

That same year he joined TenThousand Projects, whose support expanded his reach. The subsequent EP What About Now featured the breakthrough single “For a Minute,” a concise, uplifting track that surpassed ten million streams and paved the way for further releases. His next project, Where Silence Feels Good, appeared in 2022.
