In spite of his many obstacles, Neil Wallace has continued to effectively carve out a successful, entertainment career.

The popular Waterhouse-native, who goes by the moniker Stan Hype, is a budding DJ, actor, music video director, and dancer with the ambition of becoming one of the greatest Jamaican talents to have ever graced the Earth.

And, while most of his peers have already doubted the feasibility of his desires, Wallace has remained steadfast and has since put his faith into action, with results slowly bearing fruit.

For his career as a DJ, Wallace has played at numerous street dances in and around Kingston. He has also played at various nightclubs, on HYPE TV, school tours, and two radio stations - Best FM and Vibes FM, which is based in England.

All of the experiences are deemed worthwhile by the young and upcoming star. "I have learned a lot from those experiences, especially the school tours and my radio gigs," he said.

Lead role

Wallace started out as a dancer and was often seen at street dances displaying his various dance moves. This led to him being offered roles in music videos such as Busy Signal's Royal Night and Reggae Music Again, G Whizz' Whether Night or Day, Ricky Teetz' Life Goes On and Poverty Life, and Cornelius Grant's Red YiY People.

He played a lead role in Grant's movie Kill Dem All and Done, and got a cameo in Bashment Granny while Bad Luck, another movie he starred in, is yet to be released.

Wallace, whose entertainment career began in 2010, has directed the music video for Cornelius Grant's Red YiY People and co-directed Rollie Fresh's Anuh Every Gyal.

Neil Wallace, along with his childhood friends Cornelius Grant and Elton Moodie, started the company Good Vybz Entertainment.
