Tristan Paul Mack Wilds (born July 15, 1989) is an American actor, singer-songwriter, and record producer.[1][2] He is known for his roles as Michael Lee on the HBO original drama series, The Wire, and as Dixon Wilson on the CW teen drama series, 90210. He was also featured in the Adele music video for "Hello". As a recording artist, he signed with record producer Salaam Remi's Louder than Life Recordings, an imprint of Sony Music to release his debut studio album, New York: A Love Story (2013),[3][4] which narrowly entered the Billboard 200 and received a nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards.[5] Wilds' second album, AfterHours (2017), was released independently, and failed to chart.[6]
