From the TV screen to the studio’s booth, actor Tristian Wilds is making a change.
Not only is Tristian Wilds making a career change (more like adding to his resume), but he also made a name change. Tristian Wilds now goes by Mack Wilds. “Mack” being a name that was given to him by his grandmother. Wilds, who is known for his breakout role as Michael Lee on HBO’s The Wire, and who currently stars on the CW’s 90210, is now trying his hand in the music industry.
Wilds, who is a native of Staten Island, New York, says that his love for music was always present. Music was the industry Wilds had always pursued before becoming the acting star he is today. Wilds says that he wants to do both singing and rapping, and believe it or not, does not sound bad. Having already worked with music and hometown greats, Method Man and Raekwon, Mack Wilds is ready.
Mack Wilds will release his debut album New York: A Love Story September 30th. Method Man and Raekwon are featured on the album, and so is a remake of Michael Jackson’s “Remember The Time”. I am eager to see where the musical talent of Mack Wilds goes. Below is the remix of his track “Own It”, which features Jae Millz. Take a listen!
