Wade J. RobsonHe was a prodigy before he probably knew what the word meant. He has a list of clients that tops off around Britney Spears and *NSYNC. He is Wade J. Robson, a creative entity with 13 years of experience in only 19 years of life. You've seen his work all over television, motion pictures, music videos, sold out concerts, award ceremonies and elsewhere. However, you probably would need time to pick Wade J. Robson out of a group of young men. Not that his magnetic personality and overwhelming abilities don't announce his presence before he can be properly introduced, and it's not that he doesn't have the charm, attitude, charisma and style of a natural born superstar. It's just that he's on a path to greatness which is only the beginning, and the man you're meeting today is transcending all boundaries, well on his way to conquering higher levels of entertainment and mesmerizing not only a nation but an entire world. Wade, Australian by birth and American by choice, made an entrance into entertainment and never looked back at its door. Putting in countless hours of work at an amazingly early age, Wade was able to advance far beyond the realm of classic childhood, becoming a professional long before most people reach amateur status. At three years old, while many of us were still only beginning to walk, Wade was memorizing the dance steps of Michael Jackson's infamous Thriller video. At five when most of us were still learning to tie our shoes, Wade was dancing circles around competition and performing in front of capacity crowds with the King of Pop himself. By the time he was seven, he had appeared in three of Michael Jackson's biggest videos: - Black or White, Jam and Heal the World. From this point there were Academy Awards performances, television appearances, rap albums, music production, dance classes (teaching them, that is), acting roles in major motion pictures and choreography. And then he turned sixteen. This was around the time when he received a request to choreograph routines for Britney Spears. After seeing his talent first hand, Britney chose not to continue to use Wade just as a choreographer. Instead, he would direct her entire stage show, choreographing her every move, remixing the music, even designing the sets. His outstanding work ethic and eagle's eye to detail presented him with opportunities that made apparent his arrival to the top of his class. He has since choreographed and appeared with Britney in the first Pepsi commercial and he choreographed, wrote and produced the jingle and co-directed Britney's second Pepsi Commercial, danced in the extremely popular GAP commercial campaign, masterminded *NSYNC's 2001 MTV Music Awards performance and their 2001 Pop Odyssey Tour, as well as their dynamic showings at the 2000 Billboard Music Awards and their 2000 No Strings Attached Tour. The relationship with Britney and *NSYNC continues to flourish, as Wade co-wrote and produced 4 songs from *NSYNC's multi-platinum Celebrity album, including the current smash single Gone, which is bringing the heavily sought after Urban audience closer to the group than ever before. As tour director for Britney's 2001 A Dream Within A Dream Tour, Wade's insane schedule will be forced once again to conform to his unbreakable will, especially when her duet with Justin Timberlake, What It's Like To Be Me, is performed live in front of millions of faithful fans (which coincidentally was co-written and produced by Wade). When asked about Wade's talent and capabilities, Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC offers, "He is a total perfectionist." When Wade is asked himself, he responds, "I have my vision, and I go to people and they make my vision happen. It's gone past just dancing. It's creating a story line." This story line has since been adapted for immensely popular artists such as Mandy Moore, Pink, Usher, Tyrese, Youngstown, IMX and Mya. Wade has gone from being the man behind the scenes to the creative force driving the vehicle of certain success for today's biggest superstars. And by the way, he's now nineteen. So now Wade Robson can no longer be considered a prodigy. He is now a professional choreographer, dancer, music producer, tour director, recording artist, actor, feature film and music video director. Plans for the near future include writing and producing songs for new and established artists, including artists that he will develop personally. Also on the horizon is his intention to dominate Hollywood, as he is currently working on film projects, which he will both write and direct. As for his first love, he still lives by what he considers to be his personal trademark. "Making a marriage of choreography and the music that I remix or write." So for anyone asking the question, 'Who is Wade J. Robson,' the answer almost seems elementary. He is nothing less than an entertainer of unlimited creative capacity who found his route and continues to blaze his way through trails of onlookers, moving to the speed of lights, camera and action in perfect step. |
