Haitian-born Wyclef Jean is a Grammy Award-winning songwriter/musician/producer, humanitarian, Goodwill Ambassador to Haiti, and founder of Yéle Haiti. A founding member of the pioneering hip-hop group Fugees and prolific solo artist, Wyclef has effortlessly crossed genres, generations and geographic boundaries with his music.

Wyclef's musical journey began in Haiti where he sang in his father's church at the age of three. At the age of 10, he moved to the United States where he formed his first serious musical collaboration, the Tranzlator Crew, in 1987, with his New Jersey classmates Lauryn Hill and Pras Michel. By 1994, the Tranzlator Crew had become the Fugees and the group enjoyed its first critical acclaim with its debut album, "Blunted On Reality."
