We talked about many things from family, passion, music, football, scarifies, he told some really great stories to a while lot more! From pro-football to music, he has an amazing story!
Native Wellz born Wayne Thompson was raised on the Southside inner City of Syracuse, N.Y. is where this Lyrical Genius started his journey. His childhood was full of struggle with losing his mother to cancer when he was 8 years old and having his father in and out of jail throughout his life. He bounced around from family members’ house to house including the streets, it literally took a village to raise this child into a man. His saving grace to keep him from following in his father’s footsteps was sports, specifically football. Native Wellz became well known for his athletic talents, scoring him championships and having the top schools/universities in the nation wanting a piece of the phenomenon.
Unfortunately, poor academic success deterred his collegiate football opportunities at a top division 1 institution. Thinking that all hope was lost, he began to give up and turn to the misguided streets of his hometown. Then God sent one of his special angels to intervene and bring Wayne back into the light. Ginny Donahue, founder of ON POINT for COLLEGE, helped him back on the right path. Determined not to become another statistic, he gave education another chance to help achieve his aspirations of going into professional football. Wellz landed at Buffalo State College, a division III institution. Having become the starting tailback on the team, he once again was on his golden path he was once before. He focused on academics and physical training with music, giving him the motivation to strive for better.
His street smarts, business savvy and lyrical talents have brought him to meet music greats including team members of Dj Khaled, Justice League, Cash Money and Bad Boy. This time the light shines bright on NativeWellz the Lyrical Genius. Realizing that he this lyrical gift Native Wellz decided to pursue his own musical career. Teaming up with an extraordinary team of Managers, Public Relations and Marketing Gurus Native Wellz have been extremely busy making some incredible music with new hits coming soon.
