Wyclef Jean

by Elizabeth Hoover

This biography covers the life and career of hip-hop musician Wyclef Jean. Born into poverty on the island of Haiti, Jean has come a long way from a barefoot boy who found himself surrounded by music and magic. As a former member of the Fugees, he is partially responsible for the history-making album The Score and is a multiplatinum recording artist in his own right. He has become a symbol of Haitian national pride and a generous philanthropist. This compelling volume offers students insights into Wyclef Jean's early life and career. Informative sidebars, a detailed timeline, and an expansive bibliography support social studies and biography assignments.
