MC Whizzkid Biography. 2010.
As the gleam of the whitest strobe light streams it’s way across a sea of energetic, frenetic ravers with their hands raised to the sky, glow sticks firmly in hand and whistles blowing with wanton abandon; the echo of a bass loop can be heard resounding across the arena as any one of a number of superstar headliners takes to a Pioneer and sets up the next slammer for a crowd that’s now at fever pitch in anticipation of not only their DJ, but one particular MC. As he steadily steps up to the front of the stage, upbeat in his manner, happy in his ways and looking good on the dress code front, that one MC dusts off his mic and let’s out his first lyric of the night and it’s met… with a thunderous applause. Welcome to the World of MC Whizzkid.
Whizzkid’s first break came in the mid 1990’s, after following a passion for groundbreaking artists pushing boundaries musically such as the prolific ‘The Prodigy’ and many more. Ironically today Whizzkid is looked upon by the raving community and its peers as prolific himself, winning awards such as The Hardcore Heaven Awards Best MC in 2008 & 2009. Since attending his first ever event at Fantazia, back then but a young raver, Whizzkid was both inspired and amazed by his experiences there and was driven from that day forward by a quest to succeed, to perform, to write, create, to entertain and has since then built a repertoire of lyrics, rhymes and a penchant for wrangling a crowd through his microphone at a sold out event like no other before him. An avid lover of all genres of music both past and present, Whizzkid continues to be as enthusiastic about the music that drives him as the very ravers that turn up in their thousands each week to see him.
From Slammin Vinyl to Hardcore Till I Die, from Fusion to Uproar, Hardcore Heaven to Fantazia, Helter Skelter, Raverbaby, Dreamscape - if there’s a Hardcore event happening somewhere in the World, be it the capacity crowds of the Clubland Live Tours with artists like N-Dubz & Cascada and huge festivals like Global Gathering or the more intense and exciting intimacy of a smaller party like RaversReunited or Hyperbolic; there’s a bet that somewhere on the line-up Whizzkid will be there. Headlining flyers but never arrogant with his unique place in Hardcore, MC Whizzkid makes time for the folk that show up to those very events week in and week out, often going out of his way to spend time with the raving public. Performing everywhere from the UK to the USA, Australia, Germany, Ibiza, and beyond, The W is a busy guy.
Of course, his lyrical genius is not limited to live skits on the grand stages, or the smaller ones for that matter; his work also extends to the studio where he is co-founder/director of Broken Records with friends and fellow artists Stylus & AudioJunkie. Also, working closely with other key headlining artists on and off stage such as Darren Styles, Gammer, Breeze, Ultrabeat infact, he has worked with pretty much every major Hardcore DJ/producer you could name. Along with his skill of switching style to great acclaim in Breaks, Hip Hop, D&B and Hard Dance.
As a recording artist, as mentioned, the Kid works in many different genres and has featured on a huge variety of different albums, including the platinum selling Clubland & Clubland Extreme Hardcore series for All Around The World. This along with countless cameos on different artists albums including the chart busting CD compilation series True Hardcore for which he successfully completed two albums alongside recording artists Sy, Unknown, Dougal, Gammer, Storm, Supreme & more. You may have even seen him on TV adverts, soaps and music videos over the years. More recently his successful co-lab with his clothing sponsors Terratag, has even seen him enter the fashion world!
A born entertainer, multi-award winner, natural lyricist and energetic performer - this is MC Whizzkid…
