Born in Massapequa Park, New York to a show biz family, he began his musical training from his baby seat listening to Chopin Etudes, while his Mom gave ballet lessons in their Long Island home. “Even now, whenever I hear the E minor Etude, I find myself sucking my thumb uncontrollably”.
Moving to New York City in the mid-eighties, Wade began earning his reputation as a multi-instrumentalist with his band “Boyslife” where he played guitar and keyboards at the same time. The band won MTV's basement tapes and was an important stage in his evolution. “It was in the band that I found I had legs as a producer. I was always telling everybody what to play.”
After “Boyslife” disbanded he opened his first recording studio and started producing other bands. It was in this studio that he met several advertising and television professionals and started doing more compositional work .
Always going the extra mile and applying an open-minded resourcefulness to each project he has worked on, Wade’s career and company Noize Factory have grown steadily since.
Recently, with his work on Nick Jr. Playalong, he used his affiliation with The Manhattan Producers Alliance to define a new method of streamlining production work-flow between separate music companies using a series of webcams and ftp sites. Other recent projects include Nickelodeon’s “Kid’s Pick the President”, VH1's “Air VH1 ”, ABC's "Good Morning America", A&E's "Our Generation" and the Sundance Award winning "Education of Shelby Knox".
