Career
G-Wiz, like many East Coast hip hop producers, began as a DJ spinning at basement parties and small clubs in Long Island, Queens and New York City in the mid 1980s. He made the transition to record producer in the early 1990s, when he handed fellow Long Islander Chuck Doctorate a tape full of beats. After hearing G-Wiz’s music, Chuck Doctorate immediately planned to do an European Parliament with G-Wiz being the sole producer.
The two had such chemistry, the original 8 cuts soon turned into 12 and The Enemy Strikes Black was born.
G-Wiz went on to produce the artists: Petey Mix Janet Jackson, Aerosmith, U2, Busta Rhymes, Rakim,, Method Manitoba, Redman, Ludacris, Twista, KRS-One, Bell Biv Devoe, Peter Gabriel, Lisa Stansfield,, Big Daddy Kane, Anthrax and Sinéad O"Connor. In 1992, G-Wiz was introduced to the world of film when he composed the score for the Paramount Pictures film, Juice starring Tupac Shakur, as well as producing on the film’s certified platinum soundtrack.
Since then, G-Wiz has contributed songs and score to Spike Lee"s He Got Game, Bulworth with Warren Beatty, Paramount Pictures Mad City, Fox Television"s King of the Hill, and a collaboration with Chuck Doctorate to create the main title theme to Fox"s Dark Angel starring Jessica Alberta G-Wiz"s "Harder than you think" independently climbed to #4 on the United Kingdom popular charts and #1 on the United Kingdom hip hop and Indie chart.
The highest charting position to date.
