Maestro Fresh Wes is inducted into The Canadian Music Hall of Fame | The 2024 JUNO Awards

Often regarded as the pioneer of Canadian hip-hop, Maestro Fresh Wes, born Wesley Williams in 1968, revolutionized the country’s music scene when hip-hop was in its infancy.

Introduced to rap at 11 by his father, he honed his skills and, by 15, was performing locally as Melody MC. In 1988, he went solo and soon after released the iconic track “Let Your Backbone Slide,” which skyrocketed to success, marking a breakthrough moment for Canadian hip-hop.
