Wesley Johnson (born 22 July 1977), known by his stage name 2Play, is an English musician, record producer, and former mixed martial artist.

Music career
Johnson first entered the music scene in 1997 as a UK garage producer, under the aliases Wesley 2 Play and Special T. His first single under the name 2Play, "So Confused", was released in early 2004, and featured Canadian-Indian singer Raghav and MC Jucxi D. It reached number 6 on the UK Singles Chart, and won Best Collaboration at the MOBO Awards, and Best Single at the UK Asian Music Awards. A cover of Kevin Lyttle's "Turn Me On" appears on the "So Confused" single. The following single "It Can't Be Right", featuring Raghav and Naila Boss, was also a UK top 10 hit. The next single, a cover version of George Michael's "Careless Whisper", reached number 29. A house remix and a garage remix of "Careless Whisper" were also produced, under the alias Special T.

An album, including all the above singles, was produced and mastered in 2006, but never released at the time. 2Play independently released the album to digital platforms in 2019, under the title Back in Business.
