Nelust Wyclef Jean (IPA pronunciation: [ˈʍaɪ.klɛf dʒɑn]) (born October 17, 1972, in Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti) is an American rapper, reggae artist, producer, and member of the superstar hip hop trio The Fugees, known now for a series of high-profile hit singles in the 1990s.
Jean moved to Brooklyn, New York when he was nine, then to Northern New Jersey, where he began playing the guitar and studying jazz in his mostly-black high school. In 1987, Jean, his friend (so close they told people they were cousins growing up) Prakazrel Michel (Pras) and his classmate, Lauryn Hill, formed a group called the Tranzlator Crew before becoming The Fugees. Wyclef worked as a cabdriver.
