A native Tennessean, Wes has loved radio, music, film, and all the blessings he has received since he took his first steps in this world.
Alongwith "The Late-Night with Wes" show on Hot 92.3, Wes can be found balancing his schedule between event hosting, voice-over gigs, and continuing his journey through the film industry. Wes has been in films such as “Phatgirlz” and “Play On”, has done Voice-Over work for innumerable radio ads and films such as “Chutzpah”, and has been seen on countless advertisements and was even used the cover-art of the independent film “Lovers & Friends.” Wes is also a R&B/Jazz vocalist. Having worked with legends like Grammy-Award Winner Paul Brown, DW3, and a long list of talented producers and performers, Wes has definitely shared his passion with the world.
There is another layer to Wes...his love of family, friends, and God. This is where his true passion lies...showing those he loves that the word 'love' is worthless unless you show it.
Wes has one Scripture that defines him...I Cor. 13: 4-7
Dick Clark, famed TV producer and "New Year's Rockin' Eve" host, died from a massive heart attack this morning, TMZ has learned. Clark's rep tells TMZ, the TV icon had been in St. John's hospital in L.A. after undergoing an outpatient procedure last night. Clark suffered the "massive" heart attack following the procedure. Attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful. Clark was 82. Clark's health had been on the decline since he suffered a significant stroke in 2004 -- forcing him to retire from his hosting gig at "New Year's Rockin' Eve," which he created in 1972. Ryan Seacrest took over in 2006. Dick has appeared on the show sporadically ever since. His final appearance was in 2011. Months before suffering a stroke, Clark told Larry King he also suffered from Type 2 diabetes. Clark got his first big break in 1956, hosting what was called "Bob Horn's Bandstand" ... what would later be renamed "American Bandstand." Clark had been inducted into practically every hall of fame on the planet -- including the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame. Clark was married 3 times -- and has 3 children from his first two marriages. He is survived by his current wife Kari Wigton. "For now, Dick Clark ... so long." Some celebs react on their twitter:
Boyz II Men- RIP to another legend! We will miss u Dick Clark! Thank I for EVERYTHING u have done for us all!!!

LA_Reid- Dick Clark's profound contributions to music, television and popular culture will reverberate throughout time. R.I.P. Mr. American Bandstand
FIRST TUPAC…NOW MJ AND NOTORIOUS B.I.G…
After Hologram Tupac hit the stage at the Coachella festival last weekend, Warren G is trying to convince Diddy that a similar move with the Notorious B.I.G. should be next. ”That would be dope for Puffy to come on and we just do one the biggest, majorest tours ever where it happens like that,” Warren told MTV News. “He could go out and do the same thing, but it would be dope to do it together.” Biggie was gunned down in 1997 at the age of 24. Sanj Surati, Head of Music at holographic projection firm Musion, creators of the Tupac hologram used at Coachella, said: ”This is obviously a historic and exciting initiative that we’re all witnessing currently, and it would make sense for them to bring it to Europe and maybe take it to the rest of the world.” Also, a hologram of Michael Jackson could very well be going on tour with his crew of brothers some time soon. The Jacksons will be on the road beginning June 18 in Louisville. The “Unity Tour-2012″ is a 27-city musical escapade, that won’t leave one Jackson brother behind. “It could have Michael-absolutely,” he said. “Wouldn’t that be wonderful? As a matter of fact, we had that idea two years ago for Michael’s Cirque du Soleil show.”
