Wyclef Jean wins SGA Poll

In the recent poll given through the Colgate University Portal, Wyclef Jean received 733 votes (38%), decisively winning over the six other potential artists. He was followed by Pitbull, then Gym Class Heroes who came in 2nd and 3rd place respectively. Members of CAB music are currently pursuing Wyclef to bring him to Hamilton for the April 24th Spring Party Weekend Show.

Wyclef is joined by a few friends in this live version of his classic Pink Floyd cover "Wish You Were Here" from his album The Ecleftic.

Wyclef Jean is mostly known for his former role in the legendary hip-hop group, The Fugees. He has proven time and time again to be an incredible MC, even though English is not his first language. Since the unfortunate break-up of the influential group, he has had a flourishing solo career, collaborating with artists such as Paul Simon, Norah Jones, Whitney Houston, Patti LaBelle, Scarface, Lil Kim, Lauryn Hill (another Fugee), Lil Wayne, T.I... and many more.

An accomplished rapper, singer, guitar player and pianist, Wyclef is simply, the man. His recent initiative to help the Haiti earthquake relief effort has been an inspiration to millions, and the positive message in his music is truly refreshing in today's corporate dominated and sometimes valueless record industry.

The mere prospect of his visit to Colgate University is very exciting, as his reputation for live performances is beyond stellar. If all goes according to plan, we could be seeing one of the best Spring Party Weekend performances in years.
