You must have heard of Sid Wilson, his real name is Sidney George Wilson, a well-known American rapper, DJ and pianist. He is also known as TheDJ, DJ Starscream, # 0 (or 0), and we are certainly dealing with a rather controversial musician.
Short biography
Sid Wilson was born on January 20, 1977 and all of America knows him as the best turntablist of the heavy metal band Slipknot. For a while Sid Wilson was the youngest member of the band, but only until bassist Alessandro Venturella and drummer Jay Weinberg also joined the band.
A real character
Although he is not a very tall person – he is only 1.74 m, Sid Wilson knew how to compensate for that. Therefore, he has always been in the center of attention, both in the band Slipknot and in the tours he does under the name of DJ Starscream. Sid chose this name because of his passion for Transformers, one that made him get many tattoos with them. But did you know that in 2008, Sid Wilson managed a real “performance”? More precisely, did he manage to break both of your heels when he jumped from the stage, from a height of 3 meters?
Sid Wilson and the Japanese period
But let’s skip the less pleasant details and remember the fact that Sid Wilson is very popular in Japan, where he is better known as DJ Starscream. In fact, even now he has a contract signed with the Japanese record company N2O Records, but he also collaborated with the vocalist of the band The Mad Capsule Markets, Hiroshi Kyono, to come before the public with a song called “HAKAI (Destroy )”, especially for the movie The Songs for Death Note.
Personal life
As a true Sid Wilson fan, you probably know that he is in a relationship with Kelly Osbourne. And, although they first met in 1999, they were first very good friends. Shortly after Sid turned 45, the two admitted that they were in a relationship, and now Kelly is about to give birth to the couple’s first child.
Did Sid Wilson have 6 fingers?
Did you know this detail about Sid? It seems that he was born with several extra fingers on his hands, but they were removed shortly after birth. When Shawn Crahan, aka Clown, found out about it, he was downright furious about what happened.
He always wanted to be famous
Since childhood, Sid wanted to be famous, and music was the one that always attracted him. For him, musicians always spoke from the heart, unlike politicians. It didn’t matter that their topics were positive or negative, it was an authentic and real message. In addition, he always liked to help people and talk to them, and music was the one that helped him to do this as best as possible. For Sid Wilson, music is the universal language, and you can’t imagine that there is anything better than that!
