Weasel Manizzo

Weasel was born in 1985 and went to Happy Hours Nursery and Primary School. According to his parents, he was a very brilliant child who came top of his class.

Seeing the success of his brother Jose Chameleone, he refused to continue with his higher education and chose music instead. Under Chameleone's Leone Island, Weasel released a couple of singles but it was his collabo with Chameleone; 'Bomboclat' that introduced him to the fans.
