Wyclef Jean Tickets Continued
Born in Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti, Jean moved to Brooklyn when he was
nine, then to Northern New Jersey, where he began playing the guitar and
studying jazz in his high school. In 1987, Jean, his friend Prakazrel
Michel (Pras) and his classmate Lauryn Hill, formed a group called the
Tranzlator Crew before becoming The Fugees. Wyclef worked as a
cabdriver.
Their eclectic sophmore album, The Score, sold over 17 million copies
worldwide and turned the trio into international superstars. Jean soon
announced plans to begin a solo career with 1997's Wyclef Jean Presents
the Carnival Featuring the Refugee All-Stars (more typically called
simply The Carnival). The album was a major hit, as were two singles: "We
Trying to Stay Alive" and "Gone Til November". Jean's second solo album
was The Ecleftic: 2 Sides II a Book.
Jean went on to work with artists including Santana, Cypress Hill, Whitney Houston, Destiny's Child, Sublime, Sinead O'Connor, Mick Jagger and The Black Eyed Peas.
