Born on the nineteenth day of March, 1979, in a small town called Lucea, in the Parish of Hanover, Jamaica West Indies. Wadada started singing at an early age at school concerts and community stage shows. His first memorable concert was 1988, at the age of nine. As a fourth grade student at Lucea Primary at the time, Wadada rocked the crowd at Rusea's High School Auditorium with his rendition of Papa San's- (a popular Jamaican DJ in that era)- "style a style and pantan a pantan" He later attended Rusea's High School from the early to mid nineties. He was always involved in music some way or another. While attending Rusea's, Wadada was an active member in the Cadet Unit there. He was a member of the Drum Corp. Although he was only a buggler then, he was always creating is own melodies. Emerging from the countrysides of Western Jamaica, he made his way to the city of Kingston. His vivrant and charmin personality paving his way everywhere he went. He soon migrated to Atlanta, Georgia U.S.A., during which he attended Macon State College.
In 1997, He started playing his father's sound system at house parties in the Middle Georgia Area where he developed quite a reputation. Wadada recorded his first single called "gal man inna de town" in 1999 at Junior 'One Blood' Reid Studio In Jamaica. Wadada collaborated with longtime friend Wiggy Flex on this piece. He performed at Jr. Reid's Birthday Bash that same year in Half Way Tree.
Raw talent and passion for musical sounds, blends with lifetime friendship emerged into HottaKlopps Production around the year 2000. In 2000 Wadada joined with Top Notch Records in Atlanta, Georgia. He recorded several songs there: including two prereleased singles; "One Love" on the Popular Doorslam riddim, & "Babylon Is Getting Weaker" on the VirusRiddim/let those monkeys out Riddim, both featuring singer/brother Ian Bless. These songs has been getting airplays in Atlanta and Middle Georgia area, California, New York, Florida and ofcourse in Jamaica. Quite a bit of club hype has been generated from these 2 singles also.

Wadada also made an appearance on Roots Fm in Jamaica, where he was interviewed by a Legendary Jamaican musician/Disc Jockey and Reggae Pioneer; Mr. Eddie Fitzroy. After the interview, which debut Wadada's Third single 'New millinium Babylon,' He had this say; " boy mi love the feeling wha mi get from the music yunnu. It's a real joy mon. Nuff respect to the man call Chris Meredith the big engineer from Bust out studio, fi the magic touch wha him put pon the thing star, it mad, yu zimmi."

WE ALL KNOW THERE IS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT YET WE SHY AWAY FROM CRITICISM. OUR EGOS TELL US WE ARE BEING ATTACKED AND NATURALLY WE STRIKE BACK, BUT WE NEED TO LEARN ABOUT OURSELVES. AND SOMETIMES THIS COMES FROM OTHERS.THIS MEANS WE ARE NOT ALWAYS RIGHT,AND ADMITTING IT. BUT IT IS ALRIGHT TO MAKE A MISTAKE, A ERROR, A POOR CHOICE OR A BAD DICISION, IT DOES NOT MEAN THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU, IT MEANS YOU ARE BECOMING A BETTER PERSON. WE DO NOT MAKE MISTAKES ON THE BASIS OF COLOUR OR RACE, WE MAKE THEM BECAUSE WE ARE HUMAN. WHEN WE ADMIT OUR MISTAKES JUST BE SURE TO LEARN FROM THEM. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
ONE OF THE GREATEST DOWNFALLS OF OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR YOUTHS IS BANKING ON THE POTENTIAL OF THEIR ABILITIES. WE GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO OVERSTAND WHAT SOMEONE SHOULD DO,HAS THE ABILITY TO DO BVT IS NOT DOING. DO NOT BE CONCERNED WITH WHAT THEY COULD DO, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION, LISTEN INTENTLY TO WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND SAYING RIGHT NOW. WE USUALLY WANT SO MUCH FOR OUR LOVED ONES THAT WE FORGET TO ASK WHAT THEY WANT FOR THEMSELVES. ♥♥♥♥♥ ALL THEY NEED FROM US IS LOVE AND RESPECT ♥♥♥♥♥
They always want, they always want. They gave you that first gray hair, They eat too much, they have a loving relationship with dirt, they break the good dishes, They never wash the glasses clean, The really know how to embarrass you in public, They talk too loud, They walk too slow, They rarely do what you ask, the way you want it done. They go away, they come back with friends and dirty laundry, They worry you, they frighten you, They always want to question you, They love you, they hate you, They always have a good use for your money, They grow up, they get better, They get older, They get worse, NOW THINK....how empty the world would be if we didnt have our children to LOVE...Give our children a chance to grow.
