W1zzy

Williams Osei-Obengo, also known as Wizzy Frenchboy, is a rapper and trailblazer of the Afro-Fusion sound in the UK scene. Born and raised in France, he started music at 14 as a French rapper, infusing elements from his Ghanaian roots to discover a sound that is entirely his own. Heavily influenced by his father’s love for highlife music, it inspired him to do music at a tender age from listening to the likes of Amakydede, A.B Crentsil, Daddy Lumba and Bob Marley. Formerly a member of the Afrobeats trio Vibe Squad, W1zzy has consciously worked towards setting a blueprint for the music culture in the UK. Performing in both French and English, his tracks have had international success, with his songs racking up over 1,500,000 streams across all platforms. W1zzy has worked alongside major talents such as Fuse ODG, NSG, Sona and Rayzmusick, and has landed himself on the coveted playlists Spotify Afrobashment UK and Chop Daily. With his music, W1zzy represents the culture and his African heritage with so much drive, constantly cementing his status as one of the biggest advocates of Afrobeats in the diaspora. W1zzy's debut EP ‘Love Always Wins’ is set for release in November. The EP will project him as an extraordinary rapper and multipotentialite, setting him on the path to becoming a force to reckon with in the Afrobeats scene!
