I Wayne Biography I WAYNE BIOGRAPHY I Wayne (born Cliffroy Taylor in 1980 in Portmore, Jamaica), is a roots reggae singer. He is known for his hits Living In Love and Can’t Satisfy Her from his debut album Lava Ground as well as the title track from his second album, Book Of Life. I Wayne was raised by his aunt and her husband Ansell Collins, a renowned keyboard player. This young artist has been refining his craft since age seven. Coming from a musical family, I Wayne had first made his venture into performance as a student at Greater Portmore High School, joining a local group Vibes Machine. The group, consisting of singers and DJs, used to perform at afterwork parties at popular clubs like Cactus and Asylum. One night, the artiste was forced to perform alone due to the fact that his bandmates were running extremely late. The response was tremendous, and I Wayne was motivated to perfect his solo act. In the Summer of 2004, Wayne released Can’t Satisfy Her, in the new wave of reggae. The track was reportedly the first roots reggae song to be added to the playlist of Hot 97, the influential hip-hop radio station in New York City. In November of 2004, I Wayne signed a record deal with VP Records to release his debut album, Lava Ground. Lava Ground was praised for returning to reggae’s “essential roots” in contrast to popular reggae artists who induce listeners to “dance and groove to their carefree music”. I Wayne’s first week sales from his sophomore album Book Of Life (Nov. 6, 2007) walked him straight to the top of the Billboard charts at the #4 spot in the reggae category. Life Teachings his latest album release in October 2011. I-WAYNE COVER ALBUMS LAVA GROUND BOOK OF LIFE CAN’T SATISY HER LIFE TEACHINGS REGGAE SUMFEST 2013 I-WAYNE STOMPED HIS AUTHORITY ON DANCEHALL NIGHT With high expectation of dancehall night on Reggae Sumfest with a horde of Artist in the line up, a fully cultural I-Wayne who brought the crowd to their feet At Rebel Salute the anticipation in the air is that he would be dominant in his act on July 25, 2013. One thing that is known for sure is that his commanding lyrical content justified yet another outstanding performance. On his campaign for righteousness in the dancehall one would say it is a difficult trend, but there is nothing you can do or say when it comes to the people’s choice and Jamaica which possesses a rich and cultural background. This seems to be immortal. His new singles “Girl I love you”, “Crush fi dat”, and more are rocking the airwaves internationally, question are being asked is this another “Can’t satisfy her” movements.

Werden-Greenfield All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Since the early 1970’s, Rastafari has enjoyed public notoriety disproportionate to the movement’s size and humble origins in the slums of Kingston, Jamaica roughly forty years earlier. Yet, though numerous academics study Rastafari, a certain lacuna exists in contemporary scholarship in regards to the movement’s scriptural basis. By interrogating Rastafari’s recovery of the Hebrew Bible from colonial powers and Rastas’ adoption of an Israelite identity, this dissertation illuminates the biblical foundation of Rastafari ethics and symbolic registry. An analysis of the body of scholarship on Rastafari, as well as of the reggae canon, reveals

They are born with it… That is the whole essence why the music has risen up. It’s a music spiritually, telepathically, metaphysically, vibrating in the wind…” From RiseUP an award-winning film by Luciano Blotta “Island Voices Reggae & New Jamaican Music” is proud to be an official product of the 50th Anniversary Celebration & Jubilee 1962 to 2012 50th Anniversary Jamaica: Official Song “On A Mission” by Shaggy & Various Artists You are reading the PDF version of the book.
