Ceylon Wise
Minister of Praise and Worship

Born to parents Dr. C. Dexter Wise III and Dr. Shirley D. Wise and the youngest of four children (Sybil, Sheri, Shonna), Ceylon was given a strong family foundation to stand upon. After graduating from Westerville North High School, while attending Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), Ceylon met his wife to be Ashley. Five years later they married and four years after that welcomed their son Ceylon V into the world. Their second son Caleb was born in 2012. 

After graduating from MTSU with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in the Recording Industry, Ceylon returned to Columbus where he began serving as Minister of Music at Faith Ministries Church. He is licensed and ordained minister who also owns and operates a multimedia production company called TooWise Productions. 
At TooWise Productions, Wise has worked on several projects including writing, producing, and performing We Are Survivors for the Komen Race for the Cure, and multiple projects for local and national Christian artists. Ceylon was honored to be named Producer of the Year at the 2016 Kingdom Image Awards. 

Ceylon also excels in writing music for children. His work with the children’s singing group JustKidding.Biz has been featured in dozens of local and national printed, online, and television media outlets, and received accolades from powerhouses in the children’s music industry. Wise’s impact in the children’s industry increased when he penned and recorded There’s A Leader In Me. The accompanying music video Ceylon produced has over 1,000,000 youtube views and has been adopted and sung by many schools in countries all over the world.

In addition to writing music for schools, Wise also composes branded music for businesses such as the song It’s What I Live For which he wrote and NBC4 used to promote their annual Firefighters 4 Kids toy drive.

Ceylon’s family has a rich heritage of music and ministry. He is honored to contribute to that legacy as a musician, composer and minister. So far Ceylon Wise’s journey has allowed him to be a son, brother, student, music minister, graduate, preacher, producer, husband, and father. With the help of God, that is only the beginning.
