Edit ProfileEducation
Wycoff attended Wilmington Junior High and Phineas Banning High Schools in Wilmington, California.
Career
Wycoff sang backup on Stevie Wonder"s album Songs in the Key of Life. He signed a solo contract with Radio Corporation of America and released three albums between 1981 and 1983, scoring a few hit singles on the United States. Rhythm & Blues charts. His second album, Love Conquers All, included the song, Looking Up To You, that was sampled by the 1990s Rhythm & Blues group Zhané on their hit song, Hey Mr.
Doctorate.J. in 1993.
Unfortunately, like many artists of the 1980s, Wycoff succumbed to addiction of drugs and alcohol. His addiction ultimately caused him the loss of his career, his home and his family, and Wycoff ended up homeless. At the bottom, he found his way back through his faith, beating his habit and ultimately becoming Minister of Music at several Los Angeles area churches.
