Hi guys! The Last Chapter Mwen Beni is OUT! Stream it now!
Wilder Octavius with stage name Wid is a Haitian singer,
songwriter, composer, and occasional actor born in Port-Salut,
a commune in the South Department of Haiti. Raised by his
mother and grandmother, he is the eldest of his siblings. He
grew up in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, not the richest in his area but
definitely rich in upbringings. Although his father was a
musician for “Palais National” and his mother was a lover of
music, he was discouraged to take that road. His interest in
music started at a young age. Sitting in the pews of his
Christian church, he enjoyed watching the choir sing.
Wid basked in the church music so much that he would reenact
it at home. He later joined the choir and was very involved in
church activities. His Christian background made it difficult for
him to participate in secular music. He gave in and started
budding with a few local groups which resulted in him being
sanctioned by the church. A self-taught musical player of “bass,
guitar, and tambour”, he enjoyed them as a hobby.
Wid’s career in music informally started
with a group called Melodie. There he
enjoyed moderate local popularity.
He wrote and recorded 1 song with the
group. His musical formation truly started
with G7 when he embarked on his music
career. He wrote and recorded a few
pieces of music with the band.
His music with the band made a great impact in Cayes, Haiti. It was
there that he met Money G who was highly impressed when he heard
him sing the first time. Wid later joined Zenglen as a singer and
recorded 2 albums during his 6 years with the band.
Wid had no formal musical training at the beginning but his dedication
and commitment to music has propelled him to learn on his own.
Wid musical genre is polyvalent with a knack of Konpa, Afrobeat,
Zouk, Reggae and Jazz earned him the fans love and respect. His
sound and style has the power to transform the art of music and give
him an audience like no other. His music has originality with great
arrangements and vocals.
Wid has recorded and wrote over 20 songs since the beginning of
his musical venture. Wid began his solo career in the year 2020
and went to record his debut singles to be released in 2021.
