Addicts of HBO’s hit series The Wire know Maestro Harrell as Randy Wagstaff, the kid who hustled candy during the 4th Season. When Randy Maestro isn’t acting he plays the piano and sings a little. His crooning caught the ear of Jermaine Dupri who signed him to So So Def/Island Records in 2005.
JD and Island Records held a showcase last week where he put his new roster on display for executives of the label including LA Reid. Of course I wasn’t invited, of course.
There’s a video floating around the Internet of Randy Maestro and JD’s other acts performing during the showcase. Time will tell if Maestro, 16, has the pipes to make us forget him as Randy the candy kid on The Wire.
