Ivan Wilzig’s Career and Philanthropy
Ivan Wilzig, originally from Clifton, NJ, began singing lessons in elementary school and performed in various music groups and musicals. However, his parents discouraged his musical aspirations.

In 2001, Wilzig recorded a club track version of John Lennon’s “Imagine” that sold over 100,000 copies. He followed it up with a single titled “San Francisco,” which hit #7 on the Billboard Singles Chart. He has since released multiple Top 10 Dance hits and albums.
