*BIO*
BBC 1XTRA’s ‘Most Street Heat’ award winning artist Wretch 32 has claimed his station in the UK underground scene following the release of ‘Learn From My Mixtape’ mid 2006. Virtually unknown outside his North London quarters at the beginning of 2006, the release of ‘Learn From My Mixtape’ raised the artist to the pinnacle of the underground UK Music industry.
Using slick word play to embed satire into lyrics, Wretch 32’s music has been described by many as ‘edutainment’ itself. However, rather than becoming complacent with the success of ‘Learn From My Mixtape’ the artist used it as a platform participating in numerous projects throughout 2006.
His impressive work rate failed to go unnoticed by Mike Skinner and The Streets who collaborated with him in their ‘Pranging Out’ remix video. In October 2006, the artist played a key role in MTV Base’s Black History month campaign. Marveling at Black British media icons, the artist exhibited a high level of maturity by illustrating their immense accomplishments.
This work has helped to establish an ever growing fan base not only within the UK but also in Europe resulting in bookings in Amsterdam, Berlin, Gothenburg, Copenhagen and Barcelona thus far. His lucid lyrics and likeable personality also enabled the artist to present a daytime show alongside producer Davinche on G-Money’s BBC 1XTRA show.
The support shown by BBC 1XTRA, Radio 1, Asian Network, Kiss and Choice Fm is an indication of the position that Wretch 32 has stationed himself within the UK music scene. DJ’s such as 279, Semtex, Cameo, Logan, Ace and Invisible, Twin B, Shortee Blitz, One Samurai, Westwood, Mary Ann Hobbs and Ed Ski regularly provide the artist with evening and daytime airplay.
Winning BBC 1XTRA’s first Annual Mixtape award for ‘Most Street Heat’ rounded off a successful year the immensely talented artist from North London. This year the artist plans to release three mixtape’s with the first mixtape instalment ‘Teacher’s Training Day’ out now. A video and single release is also impending independently.
If 2006 was his platform, then surely 2007 will be Wretch 32’s runaway train journey to success.
