Career
"In his community and church, as a youth, Beatmaster V. practiced drums and other instruments. He excelled in his musical ability at an early age. By the time he was 11 years old he played with the legendary blues musician Lou Rawls, as a drummer.
He continued on and took drum classes, and built more musical skill playing with various musicians.
Of course, one of the musicians Beatmaster V. often worked with was the great Los Angeles guitarist, and composer, Ernie C."
Along with guitarist Ernie C, vocalist Ice-T, Wilson, bassist Mooseman and rhythm guitarist Doctorate-Roc, Wilson formed the heavy metal band Body Count during the recording of Ice-T"s fourth hip hop album, O.G. Original Gangster. "Musically, later, after their many days of rehearsing and performing Beatmaster “V” and Ernie C. ended up in the same Los Angeles band, Body Count.
This band was founded by Ice T. and the other bandmates. After initially presenting the Body Count band sounds in Los Angeles clubs and venues Body Count went on to perform in Lollapalooza (the original Lollapalooza), and many other events and places across America and around the world." Wilson died of leukemia in 1996.
