Will Wilson, professionally known as Tha DJ Hi-Speed, is a Chicago-born artist whose passion for music was cultivated from an early age. Raised on the city’s vibrant West Side, Wilson was immersed in a rich musical environment—his grandfather’s extensive jazz collection and his father’s deep appreciation for soul, disco, and rhythm & blues laid the foundation for a lifelong journey in sound.
From the age of three, Wilson demonstrated an extraordinary aptitude for DJing. Observing his father create mixtapes for his grandfather’s club, he began to emulate the process with remarkable precision—selecting tracks, cueing vinyl, and transitioning between turntables with finesse well beyond his years. Recognizing his innate talent, his family nurtured his gift, encouraging him to perform for intimate gatherings and school events by the time he was just eight years old.
House music became Wilson’s first love, but his sets quickly evolved to incorporate a dynamic blend of beat breaks, classic R&B, and hip-hop. By high school, his musical versatility and technical skill had earned him a reputation across diverse audiences, opening doors to new opportunities and expanding his reach.
Following graduation, Wilson committed to elevating his craft—not only as a DJ, but as a multifaceted creative force: artist, producer, and entertainer. His performances are distinguished by originality, precision, and a deep respect for musical heritage. His talent has taken him across the United States and abroad, captivating audiences with a sound that is uniquely his own.
Representing the soul of Chicago with every beat, Tha DJ Hi-Speed, now know as Hi-Speed Ent Worldwide, continues to redefine the art of DJing—one unforgettable set at a time.
