We absolutely loved the track- Touch you there from Wez, a soul touching track. It became the most listened song on M.IND Mag in November.
So we really wanted to know more about the man himself. Here's a short interview with the man, along with a really cool Jae5 remix.

Q. For our audiences that don’t know much about you, where are you from? Tell us your
story.
Yo, I specialize in dance music and getting the clubs jumping. Exerting my energy on to the audience. I grew up around a lot of rap and my friends are into rap. When all my friends were doing rap, I did dance. When everyone goes right I go left.
Q. How did you enter the world of music?
I had an idea to be more behind the scenes as I loved music but ended up being at the forefront. Going to festivals and watching live performances made me realize what I wanted to do. I wanted to be on stage and command the crowd, control their emotions.
Q. What kinda music inspires you?
Prodigy, Kanye West, Travis Scott but also, I am an RNB man as I love the ladies, new school like Bryson tiller but also old school Usher and Michael Jackson as well.
Q. Your favorites artists of today are?
J Hus, he has opened up a path through a genre. My fav artist of all time is 2pac but today, right now, as we speak it would be Skepta! More than him as an artist I am a fan of him. He is different, he represents quirky individuals like me. You won't find another Skepta.
Q. What made you select house as a genre, as an artist?
I was always drawn towards House and Garage, I like the melodies, less aggressive more fun and happy music
Q. The lyrics of your track are kinda thought provoking, yet witty and well crafted. What’s
your process of writing the lyrics?
You got to get into a zone, think about a real situation, it's real thought processes. I am actually talking about a real slice of ass.
Q. Any experimentation in plans for the next track, that we need to look for?
Of course, I am about to do some next shit.
Q. Do you like collabs? Who would be an idle artist for a collab?
I would like to work with Pharrell, he is very quirky and his music is light, catchy, vibrant, bright like with a lot of character.
Also Diplo, love the energy its infectious.
Q. What can we hope to see from Wez in the next 5 years?
All the live shows, I will be everywhere. My focus is live, that's where I thrive.
Q. And finally, when is the new track coming up? We’d be excited!
Keep your eyes and ears open for the next one.....
