Production on a TV series loosely based on the life of singer Wyclef Jean will start next month. The former Fugees star is working on the show, "Wyclef Jean In America," which tells the story of the singer, who moved from Haiti to New York City when he was nine-years-old.
Jean will serve as a writer on the comedy series, which will air on HBO. ;D
The son of a minister, Nelust Wyclef Jean was born in Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti, on October 17, 1972. When he was nine, his family moved to the Marlborough projects in Brooklyn, NY; by his teenage years, Jean had moved to New Jersey, taken up the guitar, and begun studying jazz through his high school's music department.
In 1987, he also joined a rap group with his cousin Prakazrel Michel (aka Pras) and Michel's high-school classmate Lauryn Hill. Initially calling themselves the Tranzlator Crew, they evolved into the Fugees, a name taken from slang for Haitian refugees.
but as da wyked use to say... that is another story !
