Wayne started performing in the mid to late 80's in front of friends and
family. After graduating high school in 1989, Wayne's focus shifted away
from music, and started chasing the "American dream".
A tragic turn of events led Wayne back into music production. Wayne's
grandmother passed away in 2006, and he turned to the music he loved to
create to help deal with her passing.
Some of Wayne's musical influences are Tangerine Dream, Juno Reactor,
Jean Michel Jarre, DRAX, E.V.O.K, Trance Control, Atlas Plug, Enya,
Enigma, Moby, Tori Amos, and Depeche Mode.
Wayne enjoys playing easy listening piano and synthesized ambient
"space" music. However, he prefers to compose and produce fast paced
trance and techno music.
A friend of Wayne's had this to say about his music;
"It's the kind of music you'd want to hear if you were flying lay-of-the-land in a fighter
jet for the first time - at full afterburner.
The kind of music you'd want screaming into your ears while you were carving virgin powder on a snowboard after dropping from a chopper - on Mt. Rainer.
The type of music you play when you're alone and dependent upon nothing but your own instincts and reflexes for survival.
It's the kind of music that will land you in jail if you listen to it while driving.
It's very simply the kind of music that gives your goosebumps, goosebumps, makes your pupils dilate, and makes your heart beat out of your chest.".
Wayne uses the following to produce his music:

Rob Papen's Albino 3 synthesizer
