MASTA WES - Biography |
Born,
Wesley Harris, III in 1973 in Port Arthur, TX. Wesley Harris, III;
A.K.A. (Beat Masta Wes), began producing and writing at the age
of 15 for local rap groups and singers. He also began to hone his
Technical Skills working with friends Pimp C. and Bun B. of U.G.K.
on their debut album. Harris gained his musical knowledge from years
of training in school and private lessons as well as growing up
in the church as a drummer. Harris gained a scholarship to college
as a music major with a focus in Vocal Performance due to his ability
and gift to sing. He continued to grow and learn more about the
theory and fundamentals of music through his college training. While
in college Harris received a production deal from Rap-A-Lot Records
where he and his brother, Avery Harris, helped to jumpstart the
label's R&B division; producing as, "The Harris Brothers".
While at Rap-A-Lot/ Sing-A-Lot Harris gained the knowledge he would
need to become the sought after Producer/ Recording Engineer/ Mixer
that he has become today. After working with Sing-A-Lot records
Harris began to work with some of the artists from his hometown
including: DJ DMD and Innersoul Records, Laboo, Wink Dawg, Hezeleo
and Hardtime on regional and nationwide projects. Harris and his
brother Avery continued to make noise in their hometown and Houston,
Texas as well. Harris along with his brother were often referred
to as the Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis of their area. After signing
a management deal with a VP of Bad Boy Entertainment in 1994 they
were given the opportunity to display their talent on a wider scale
and to people in and around the music industry that had clout. This
opportunity opened the doors to allow Harris to work with urban
music hit makers such as, Dr. Dre, P. Diddy and Mary J. Blige. Since
then Harris has worked with Gospel music Legend, Andrae Crouch and
also Aftermath artist, The Game, and Tatyana Ali. Harris is now
working on several projects with new artist around the world. Look
for new music to hit in 2007. |
