Wizz Wizzard answers a few questions to supplement our review of Rock Lives On by Wizz Acoustic.
You were a radio DJ at the tender age of 12. That’s really young and very impressive. How did you get into DJing?
Wizz: I was impressed bout some DJ’s here when I got to the age of 6 so I’ve learned at home as I got me own little studio .
I remember my turn tables needed over 30 minutes to warm up …lol to run 45 .or 33
Can you tell us a bit about your time as a Pirate DJ?
Wizz: Oh sure I was DJ at a station that was not legal and helped a guy who was DJ at radio mi amigo at day time and also radio caroline at night live from the North Sea .
What were your early musical influences?
Wizz: Rainbow, Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Uriah Heep were my first albums.
What made you decide to become a perfomer yourself?
Wizz: When I was DJing at parties, the music changes too much for me. Lots of partys were changing into disco music for 4 hours and only 1 hour of rock music, that’s the reason I’ve stopped playing others’ music as a DJ and started my own band at the age of 20 I think ..but omg that was crap …lol
Can you play any instruments? If not what would you love to be able to play?
Wizz: I can play a few instrument but not real good …lol
I play a bit of drums, guitar and piano but me real instrument is my voice.
Tell us about the band Wizz Wizzard, who does/plays what?
Wizz: Ok at the mo we are a 4 piece band: –
Wizz – vocals. SMB – guitars. D Troy – bass guitar and Steve DC – drums.
Which other bands have members of Wizz Wizzard been in?
Wizz: Wizz was in several bands mostly cover bands
D Troy his first band is Wizz Wizzard
Steve played in lots of metal bands and played big gigs mostly as support band for Uriah Heep, Y & T and many other big bands.
SMB played, also, in lots of bands before he joined Wizz Wizzard.
How did you get the name Wizz Wizzard?
Wizz: omg …lol first the band name was Wizzard as Wizz likes magic stuff but we had to change our name for a record deal as there was already a Wizzard in the UK and also one in Germany.
So we talked bout this and we changed into Wizz Wizzard as it is Wizz’s band
