This consummate entertainer has been performing since childhood and has and does nearly everything imaginable in the entertainment world. Acting, dancing, singing, modeling…you name it. He has also traveled the globe for the past dozen years performing with the Wild Zappers. He has written powerful poems and songs and his passion for music grew to a point that he had to share with the world. Warren Snipe, affectionately known as WaWa, intends to introduce the world to a new kind of music…DIP-HOP…what’s that you ask? It’s Hip-Hop through DEAF EYES!!

DeaFestival has had the pleasure of hosting WaWa many times in the past when he has performed with the Wild Zappers but this will be his first solo performance on the SpotLights stage.
