Wyclef Jean
Artist Overview
Haitian-born and Brooklyn-raised Wyclef Jean joined the hip-hop supergroup the Fugees in the early 1990s with his cousin Pras (Michel) and his friend Lauryn Hill. The trio went on to major success with THE SCORE. Wyclef didn't realize his full artistic potential until his 1997 debut solo album, THE CARNIVAL, on which he combined reggae, rock, hip-hop, and pop into a potent sonic document. The record earned him the top ten crossover ballad, "Gone Till November." While subsequent records never reached such elevation, they kept him in the public eye, and his eclectic touch and unique flow made him a sought after collaborator.
