Tha Wizzard
In 2018, Tha Wizzard's name shows up on the mix and mastering of Reo's "Sa Ka Bay" — a single that now stacks 2.4 million YouTube views. Four years later, his label-studio WizZarD HouSe Records grows inside modern Dominican Bouyon, alongside the Mr Ridge explosion. In 2025, he produces two major releases of the new female wave: Faithii / Bouyon Barbie's "Trippin" and the Trilla-G x Faithii duo's "Come On Baby". Important: Tha Wizzard is NOT Cecil Joseph, the former Roseau mayor between 2001 and 2013, a politician with no connection to music whatsoever.

Why this profile matters
On the border between Tha Wizzard and Mr Ridge, let's be precise. Mr Ridge creates Nasty Business with his eponymous single posted to YouTube on August 24, 2022, and he takes both 2024 and 2025 CMA Bouyon Artist of the Year wins. No public document shows Tha Wizzard claiming paternity of Nasty Business. His real contribution is studio work: mix, mastering, production for the scene. His role is central, but distinct from the subgenre's creation. He plays roughly the same role as Edday on the bridge between Guadeloupe and Dominica with Carlyn XP ("Foreigner" 2020, Cornell Phillip production) — an essential studio pillar for the new female Bouyon voices.
