Mark "DJ Wiz" Eastmond joined Kid 'n Play in 1988. His cuts and scratches became part of the duo's sound and stage show as they toured behind 2 Hype and their later records. A 1989 Gavin Report profile named him as the duo's DJ, then known as the Wizard. Wiz's own biography recalls touring with Kid 'n Play alongside Salt-N-Pepa, Queen Latifah, Public Enemy, and other acts through the 1990s.
Records, television, and comics
2 Hype includes "Damn That DJ (The Wizard M.E.)," a track named for Wiz. According to Kid 'n Play's official history, he appeared as a cartoon character in their Marvel comic and served as the DJ on the Saturday television show The Party Machine.
Later work
Wiz founded The Video Mix Party, a live show in which he mixes and scratches music videos. His career biography also lists appearances at the Essence Music Festival and Tom Joyner's Fantastic Voyage, along with work on television specials including The Essence Awards and HBO's Comic Relief.
