Mack Wilds Biography

Mack Wilds is a 24 year old singer best known for his acting roles as Michael Lee and Dixon Wilson on HBO’s “The Wire” and CW’s “90210” respectively, but before he hit Hollywood, Wilds dreamed of a career in music. “I don’t remember a time in my life when music wasn’t a factor in my life,” the Staten Island product says. “I was immersed in what music was in the ’90s. Everything we heard in hip-hop, I could look outside of my window in the projects and see it going on.” While growing up, Mack saw his father sing in local bands. He followed in his dad’s footsteps by practicing around their home in Stapleton housing projects. This same housing projects produced some members of Wu-Tang Clan. Wilds’ earliest music influences were Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, but he also took to hip-hop idolizing MCs like Jay-Z and Nas. At age 13, Mack added rapping to his repertoire after he noticed his voice had begun to change. “The music has always been my first love,” he says, even though his teenage years were spent acting on television and in films like 2008’s “The Secret Life of Bees” with Queen Latifah and Dakota Fanning and in 2012’s “Red Tails” alongside Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Terrence Howard. Mack released a seven song EP titled “Remember Remember” in 2011 to further his career and dreams. The following year, he hooked up with Grammy Award-winning music producer Salaam Remi and signed with Sony-distributed Remi Fa record label. Together the two recorded New York: A Love Story, a 1990s hip-hop-centered, R&B-laced tale of love and loss. The album’s first single “Own It” is produced by Salaam and written by Mack and R&B superstar Ne-Yo. Backed by the same drum track that drove Eric B. & Rakim’s hip-hop classic “Eric B. is President,” “Own It” shows Mack romantic side as well as his vocal dexterity.
