Although GWHIZZ has been in the music business since 2005, he gained international notoriety with “LIFE”; winning Carivibez.tv2009 Webby Award for Best Breakthru Video & the 2010 EME AWARD for “Best New Artists.”

"LIFE" is produced by TJ Records and is a very thought provoking ballad about the perils of poverty and one young man's plight to achieve success from his mother's wise teachings. Jamaica Star writer “BLAKKA” says, “In a simple but profound declaration of faith and hope, G Whizz tells the world ‘mi life soon sort out, mi nah worry, mmmm my life soon happy’ and the vibe he emits in the song is contagious. You can’t help but sing along. That’s partly because the young artiste captures a spirit of positive determination that many of us can identify with. He shares a mood of resilience and virtue that we all want to embrace even if we are at a difficult juncture in our life.”

Finding the formula to do a follow- up to a good song can sometimes be difficult for a young artist, but G Whizz is an exception. After watching "LIFE" climb the charts, GWHIZZ decided to record "BETTA SOON COME" and "TOMORROW" for TJ Records who also produced the "UNFINISHED BUSINESS RIDDIM" featuring MOVADO "I'm So Special" and SERANI "No Games."

TOMORROW, another uplifting and positive message from G Whizz suggest that better days are yet to come. Ghetto yutes don't depend on the gun. There is a star in all of us, check out this video, we can do this our people if we are one big family. When asked about the inspiration for this song GWHIZZ says, "People encounter problems everyday and feel down sometimes, and sometimes you just want someone to encourage you. Sometimes thats not even a friend, it can come from music. Thats what I want to offer through my songs. Im hoping the video and the song will touch and encourage
people.
