New York has birthed many a legend, but none quite like D. Robert Wayne, better known to the world as Ezediel. Launching his career amid the hushed lull of the COVID Era, one can draw parallels with the haunting pauses in his music; moments of stillness that precede a crescendo. For Ezediel, the crescendo came quickly as he leveraged his entrepreneurial style to resonate with just the right audience for his unique blend of electronic and metal genres, his voice echoing the depths of human emotions.
When you delve into his discography, one can’t help but be reminded of the meticulousness of an artist. Like a selective maestro, Ezediel’s “sniper over machine gun” approach to music releases has garnered him over 10 million streams. Each track is a meticulous ensemble, not just of sounds, but of meaning and purpose.
Tracing his lineage to the grit and grind of the New York streets, the memories of a homeless youth serve as poignant reminders of his journey. The rawness of his experience is palpable, perhaps influenced by his rich background in visual arts, theatre, and cinema, alongside his prowess as a grappler and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu professional. Ezediel’s upcoming tribute to the sport, “Mata Leão”, promises to be an exquisite fusion of Brazilian Phonk, Techno, and Nu-Metal, narrating the triumph of resilience.
Yet, music is but one note in Ezediel’s vast life. Founder and CEO of the WayneMPR network company and NotoriousX production house, a neuroscience student, linguist, model, and philanthropist; Ezediel’s life is an opus of varied melodies. One wonders, as the curtain falls on this act, what encore we might expect from this lover of life.
