Wayne's journey through life has always been guided by
his sheer love of writing and performing music. From a
very young age, Wayne began constructing and collecting
all kinds of "musical instruments" to pursue
his sonic adventures. At the age of sixteen, Wayne embarked
on his first "professional" music endeavor when
he joined a well-accomplished touring rock band as their
drummer. Audiences quickly realized this young musician
marched to the beat of his own drumming. His unique style
and approach to percussive techniques quickly captured
the attention of industry professionals and landed him
a spot in the progressive, new age, rock band Seasons
of the Wolf.
Within two weeks of joining forces with this innovative
act, they signed a deal with Groove Tone records and headed
to the recording studio with producer-engineer Bud Snyder,
(most noted for his 17 years of work with the Allman Brothers).
Wayne went on to record and tour with Seasons of the Wolf
for over 7 years. In that time, they performed on 7 internationally
released CDs, produced 4 music videos, created their own
independent music label Earth Mother Music, and composed
music for a variety of films and
television programs.
Quickly after Seasons of the Wolf began contributing
their talents to the world of film and television, Wayne
discovered his passion for that genre of music. With
great enthusiasm, Wayne decided to seek additional work
in the film industry. Wayne secured his first role as
composer for a film entitled Ionopsis. Although Ionopsis
never received national attention, Wayne’s score
did. In early 1998, Wayne’s score for Ionopsis
was awarded “The Best Original Score of 1997”
by the Florida Motion Picture and Television association.
Ionopsis, along with Wayne’s earlier projects,
served as a springboard and has allowed Wayne to carry
on with his work as a composer.
Wayne continues composing for a variety of projects
and has now released 2 solo CDs: Ghost
Notes and Echoes in Eternity.
