A native of Brisbane, Australia, Wade Jeremy William Robson was born on September 17th, 1982. He showed an affinity for dancing before he was even out of diapers, memorizing the moves to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" at the age of 3. Two years later, Robson won a Jackson dance/look-alike contest, getting passes to meet the legend following a concert. Wade Robson impressed the King of Pop by showing off moves dancers 10 years his senior couldn't pull off. As a result of Robson's skill, a professional relationship developed between Robson's parents and Jackson. After the Australian family moved to California, Jackson helped Wade develop his talent, with appearances in videos like "Black or White," "Heal the World" and "Jam." Wade Robson was not yet 10 years old and already had three impressive performances under his belt. An incredible array of accomplishments poured in before Wade Robson was even an adult: he groomed his acting talents on the television show Picket Fences (1992) and the movie Kazaam (1996), toured for two years with the Sony-created pop group Quo and danced at the 65th Academy Awards.
At 12, Wade Robson was already teaching at Los Angeles' best dance schools and established his own music studio, where he wrote and produced songs in his spare time. Prior to finishing high school, he had already worked on performances for the Kid's Choice Awards and made hits for music groups Immature and Youngstown. It was at the age of 16 that Wade Robson evolved from astounding success to pop icon. Wade Robson was introduced to Britney Spears and a great professional relationship developed. Wade Robson choreographed her shows at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards and European MTV Video Music Awards, directed the complete stage production for her 1999 and 2000 world tours, and created the moves for her two Pepsi commercials.
Wade Robson was liked by another famous pop sensation as well. 'N Sync adopted Robson as their unofficial sixth member after he worked on their millennium world tour and their Pop Odyssey tour in 2001. Robson choreographed the group's performances at the Grammy and Billboard awards in 2001, as well as their Super Bowl Halftime Show routine. Wade Robson showed he was no stranger to television either, working on 'N Sync's "Pop" video and Britney Spears' very sexy clip for "I'm a Slave 4 U". He returned to music production as well, getting credit on 'N Sync's Celebrity album for co-writing the singles "Gone" and "See Right Through You".
When not busy cultivating the images, sounds and styles of future pop stars in the production division of his own music company, WaJeRo Entertainment, Inc., Wade Robson, who has a serious girlfriend, continues to beef up his resume by working with such artists as Ginuwine, Mya and Mandy Moore. His dance competition show, Wade Robson Project, is a big hit on MTV and he's using the experience to make a movie musical with Disney. Creating a musical empire at 21 years old is not easy, but by the looks of it, that's exactly what Wade Robson did. Pop stars almost universally swear by his skills and he's becoming a true phenomenon. Wade Robson has gotten his feet wet in almost every form of entertainment and the future only promises more of the same.
