Wayne was always around music with early exposure to the sounds of contemporary black gospel choirs
around Michiana. As a young man, he began his mastery of the funk bass with new-found inspiration
from 1970’s old-school funk bass masters such as: Mark Adams (Slave), Bootsy Collins (James
Brown/Parliament), and Bernard Edwards (Chic). Today, Wayne is undeniably one of the best funk
specialist bassists in the area. Wayne has a natural ear for harmonization and lead vocals. His high range
is stunning and reminiscent of vocal greats such as Phillip Bailey of Earth, Wind, and Fire.
Wayne has played in the area for many years in bands such as: The Dream Team (founding member), T Swang, and Black Pepper Band as well as several respected gospel groups such as Cornell Burton, Pat
Hamilton and many others.
