Introducing: WizTheMc
WizTheMC is a global genre‑defying South African artist, now based in Berlin.
After cutting his teeth with early EPs Blessings in Disguise and Backintoronto (2018) and his mixtape Growing Teeth (2020), WizTheMC partnered with TenThousand Projects and scored his first major breakthrough in 2021 with the feel‑good anthem “For a Minute,” which since racked up over 76 million streams on Spotify. He followed that success with his 2022 EP Where Silence Feels Good, further cementing his reputation for crafting earworm hooks and genre‑bending production.
In February 2025, Wiz unleashed “Show Me Love,” a sun‑drenched single that has already amassed 123.7 million streams on Spotify and an astonishing 1.2 billion views on TikTok. The track climbed to No. 5 on the U.K. Singles Chart and No. 14 in Germany, while earning heavy radio rotation across Germany, the U.K. and the U.S. Wiz teamed up with South African superstar Tyla for an official remix—after less than a week of release, it had already logged 1.2 million Spotify plays—and Wiz even joined her on stage during her Coachella headline set.
Whether he’s topping charts, lighting up TikTok or commanding festival stages, WizTheMC continues to prove himself as a boundary‑breaking artist with a superstar’s presence—and a worldwide audience that’s growing by the day.
