Fate has a funny way of working. It presented the opportunity for two French DJs to meet: Jarco Weiss and Stern*. One DJ, Stern*, had gone west to conquer the American states. The other, Jarco Weiss, had gone east to the Land of the Rising Sun, China. In 2008, these two diverse musicians crossed paths in Montreal. This encounter gave birth to what we now know as WIZESTAR. Stern* has a strong background producing electro and rock. He gives Wizestar its heavy sound with a strong bass- line and saturated beats. Jarco Weiss adds flavor to the sound with his hip hop, world music and other eclectic influences. WIZESTAR began by producing different remixes and bootlegs of groups such as Beastie Boys, Major Lazer and N.A.S.A. to name a few. In 2009, after receiving positive feedback for their remixes of 2008 (they have been broadcated on Solid Steel Radio), the two decided to combine their very different influences and their passion for music and began to work on their first original album.

Hailing from New York and joining WIZESTAR on their first album, the classically trained vocalist Julia Hervish aka Julie Depanneur adds a deep and dirty sound to the group. Her work with WIZESTAR is proof that when musicians with diverse backgrounds come together, the result is fresh and captivating.

WIZESTAR also works with several other MCs, such as Spoek Mathambo (Playdoe/Sweat,x) and Induce (Casual Sax). WIZESTAR continues to DJ around the world together as well as individually while waiting for the release of their EP in April 2010 and their album in September 2010
