Meet WAV, The Producer

WAV, Okino R. Thomas

Meet, Okino R. Thomas, WAV. On March 8, 2019, WAV presents his latest music production, the I Am WAV Music, Reign riddim. Presenting the talents of Fully Bad, Khxos, Lock It, Tony Matterhorn, Gold Gad, Jaya, Elephant Man, Kerry Ann Townsend, and JAYDS, the riddim premiers with “I Know,” featuring Masicka. Distributed by VPAL Music, the expertly produced dancehall composition is available on all digital platforms. Pre-order today.

Looking forward to the release of the Reign riddim project, it is also important to review WAV’s entire portfolio. It is unconscionable to view his work in isolation because his efforts are not static. Rather it is a progressive delivery of projects, often with minimal recognition. At the end of this quarter, all in the field of entertainment and mainstream music fans should know his name.

WAV is an established musician and producer. With over 25 successful rhythms and arrangements, his expertise runs the gamut. His scope includes productions for Jon FX & XxxTentacion, OT Genasis, Rick Ross, Vybz Kartel, Masicka, Gyptian, Sizzla, and Tony Matterhorn. As well, his peers as Stephen “Di Genius” Mc Gregor, and rising icons Charly Black, Jahmiel, Shenseea, Ishawna, and Kranium equally respect him. Reviewing WAV’s catalogue of published work, leads us to consider the extensive catalogue of non-published work in his library.

With a computer, minimal software, and a headset, perhaps an addition of a keyboard, it is easy for many to proclaim themselves a producer, or in didactic terms framed as false humility “a beat maker.” Rather complacent, they advance to the market with self produced albums. Then, there is WAV. And when his press release and media kit arrive from VPAL Music, a division of VP Records, well we start to see the difference between creative resourcefulness and talent. And talent is often so silent, we overlook its presence. Yet to produce a self titled album of various rhythms, WAV has been making us dance for over 12 years, since he was 13 years old. A prodigy.
