Cilvaringz is a Wu-Family member from Tilburg, Holland. He is the very first international Wu-Tang member, gaining entrance after several unsuccessful trips to New York attempting to speak with RZA, the head of the Wu-Tang Clan. He eventually succeeded by meeting RZA's sister and convinced her to set up a meeting. After hearing his work, RZA decided to sign Cilvaringz to Wu-Tang Records. Cilvaringz has also released an instrumental album entitled The Mental Chamberz. In June 2007, and after much delay, Cilvaringz's first real solo album, I -- which featured production work and appearances by many Wu-Tang members and affiliates -- came out. ~ Brad Mills, All Music Guide
