Wyclef Jean Tickets Continued

Born in Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti, Jean moved to Brooklyn when he was nine, then to Northern New Jersey, where he began playing the guitar and studying jazz in his high school. In 1987, Jean, his friend Prakazrel Michel (Pras) and his classmate Lauryn Hill, formed a group called the Tranzlator Crew before becoming The Fugees. Wyclef worked as a cabdriver.

Their eclectic sophmore album, The Score, sold over 17 million copies worldwide and turned the trio into international superstars. Jean soon announced plans to begin a solo career with 1997's Wyclef Jean Presents the Carnival Featuring the Refugee All-Stars (more typically called simply The Carnival). The album was a major hit, as were two singles: "We Trying to Stay Alive" and "Gone Til November". Jean's second solo album was The Ecleftic: 2 Sides II a Book.

Jean went on to work with artists including Santana, Cypress Hill, Whitney Houston, Destiny's Child, Sublime, Sinead O'Connor, Mick Jagger and The Black Eyed Peas.
