What was your dream as a kid? Imagine walking the hallways of an elementary school, singing your heart out, nurturing a dream that seems impossible. That's where Michael "the Wanz" Wansley, the unmistakable voice behind the 10x platinum hit by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, 'Thrift Shop,' began his incredible musical journey. His dream didn't fully come to life until he was 51 years old.
Wanz's story is a testament to unwavering dedication and a refusal to let go of his passion. He didn't just dream; he continued to pursue his passion in music simply because he loved it. Even when life led him to a 9-5 job, he refused to give up. He kept pushing forward, kept singing, and continued to bring joy to people's lives. All of his tenacity paid off when he was featured in 'Thrift Shop,' a moment that catapulted him into the spotlight and brought him fame and incredible opportunity, including two Grammy awards.

So, sit back and prepare to be inspired as we explore the extraordinary power of persistence, the significance of the choices we make, and the sheer joy of pursuing what truly makes you happy with the remarkable Michael "the Wanz" Wansley.
