David Wilde (Composer|Songwriter|Producer|Arranger)
David majored in Jazz Studies and Classical Piano at William Patterson College with mentors Rufus Reid, Dave Samuels and Barry Harris, graduating with a BM degree in Jazz Studies Cum Laude and awarded most valuable Jazz Musician of his graduating class. David quickly landed major touring gigs with Blood, Sweat & Tears, CS&N, Fleetwood Mac, The Kinks and Latin star Louis Perico Ortiz.
After touring the world David built Marion Recording Studio to compose and produce records and gained a reputation as one of the best young record producers around. As a multi-instrumentalist and programmer David established a unique ability to solely compose entire tracks and soundscapes from inception to completion. Tom Silverman of Tommy Boy Records sought out David to develop a new act called Naughty By Nature.
David wrote, played, programmed and produced the record with NBN in his home-built studio in New Jersey creating an anthem of the hip hop generation. Naughty By Nature's self-titled debut with their hit song "OPP" would go on to sell over 3 million copies, the next NBN hit soon followed with "Hip Hop Hooray”. Many hits after from Zhane's "Hey Mr. DJ", Queen Latifah's "Nature of a Sista", Kool & The Gang's "Never Give Up", Michael & Janet Jackson's "Scream" re-mix, Theory Of A Deadman's "Bad Girlfriend" re-mix, records by Hall & Oates “Marigold Sky", Daryl Hall "Can't Stop Dreaming" Coolio, Taylor Dayne, Patty Smyth & Scandal along with 100's of indie artists.
Stacy Wilde (Composer|Songwriter|Singer)
Stacy studied piano and guitar and started writing and performing her own songs in high school. While in college she formed her own band and began playing clubs up and down the east coast. In pursuing a record deal she needed a great demo and after hearing many artist's demos produced by David, she knew he'd be the perfect collaborator. Their first song at that first session together would become a single for Kool & The Gang. “Never Give Up” would lead to many more song cuts. Concurrently they began working on Stacy’s debut rock record “Tear Down The Sky”. The strength of that record led to Stacy being signed to EMI Music Publishing and Atlantic Records with Dave attached as co-writer producer. Stacy landed tours as the opening act for legendary bands The Kinks, Crosby Stills & Nash and Fleetwood Mac.
After a major shakeup at the label, Stacy's Atlantic record debut was left unreleased. Music Supervisors would play a major role in getting her record heard and bringing WildeWest into the tv/film world.

TV song placements in NCIS, Justified, Lie To Me, Charmed followed and WildeWest penned the award-winning trailer song "Change The World" for the Disney/ Dreamworks hit film "The Help”.
