WITH ALL THE success that Wayne Wonder has been having lately, it is hard to think of a time when this talented singer ever had it difficult attaining the heights that he has now reached.
Wayne, however, will say differently, as he can recall his earlier days, just like any other artistes, waiting long hours and pushing and shoving, just to get a foot inside the outer gates of recording studios.
"I remember the days when I couldn't even get inside Jammy's studio," Wayne recalled, as he and dozens of other aspiring artistes waited earnestly for a chance to show their worth.
According to Wayne, the first time he actually got inside, he can recall the gate being opened for someone else, and in one quick motion he just slid inside like the wind.
Nowadays, Wayne says things aren't that difficult getting into the business, as there are a lot more options available to aspiring artistes in the form of studios and producers.
"In my days, we use to practice on sound system, but artistes nowadays practice on records," he explained.
Wayne says he use to sing on the Metro Media sound system and this gave him an identity that he could use to move on to the next level. "When wi guh a studio, dem wi seh a di singer dis pon Metro Media and dat is how mi get a likkle bus' sometimes," he said.
Despite the rough patches in making it into the business, Wayne says the experiences of his earlier career have only made him appreciate where he is now.
"A jus' di journey, tings haffi happen to yuh before yuh can have something substantial," he says, adding that the hard times have inspired him.
