Music: Jay Wisley eyeing heroic place |
Monday, 23 April 2012 00:00 |
At 20, Jay Wisley is already bracing to hold the world spellbound, drawing inspiration from Michael Jackson who became a thriller even much earlier. “I have ambitions to do great things just like my role model did,” said the Belgium-based Cameroonian RnB singer. Wisley now sends doubting Thomases re-thinking their hitherto position on his musical prowess which dates back to 2006. Rather, they are trapped in an inexplicable anxiety as they await his maiden album planned for the coming days in Belgium. The delay in releasing Wisley’s first album way back in 2009, owing to unforeseen obstacles did not hinder the young artiste’s progress. Inside of Me still went through a smooth gestation and is now ready for consumption. With 10 tracks, Wisley expect to climb on the music taste bud of RnB lovers who so far have indicated their admiration for the rising star. While tracing his track into music, Wisley told TIPTOPSTARS that he shot his first video in 2007 with the collaboration of some studio peers. “Though I did not put it on the market, I was at least encouraged by that. The result of the work was an indication I could do something laudable,” said Jay Wisley who is 1.67 metres tall. Jay Wisley is coming to add to the already blooming artistic environment currently being developed by an ambition-coated Cameroonian community in Belgium. Young singers and filmmakers including Ndamsa Chepnje, Isidore Bang, Cassandra Kinde, Kang Quintus, just to name these, are flying Cameroon’s flag in that country. |
