Artist History One day in the Japanese summer of 1998, Claude and Ricky met for the first time at a beach party and just happend to have their guitars with them. Claude started playing some of his "little songs" and Ricky started playing like he'd known them for years. The chemistry was striking to all those present and the music lasted well into the night. At the time, they could barely speak the same language, but the music cut through it all so clearly. Since then, they've formed WIZE, under which name they've produced 3 origianl CD's, and have played more live shows than they can count. During these years, they've made so many friends from all around the world and have had more fantastic musical experiences together than they could have ever hoped for in a lifetime.
