Artist description
D. WAYNE MICHEAUX"D. Wayne" started singing in church at the age of eight. From that early time through his teen years, he sang in various youth groups, male choruses, mass choirs and was featured as a soloist .Being the son of a minister had a great influence on D. Wayne, as he respected and admired his father. After years of singing gospel, D. Wayne developed an interest in R & B music. With influences like Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Howard Hewitt and Stevie Wonder, he sharpened his skills when he began performing in venues including clubs, casinos and military installations worldwide.His powerful and energetic vocal performances led several show bands. His intense schedule led to numerous bookings including live television appearances, telethons, video shoots and countless invitations to serenade the joining of couples in matrimony. D. Wayne has been active in musical theater garnishing prized roles in productions of Hair, The Amen Corner, Dunbar, and The Black Nativity. His vocal style has been compared to the likes of Jackie Wilson and Marvin Gaye. He is an intense live performer whose energy on stage is unmatched. His studio etiquette is one of a seasoned veteran. The essence of D. Wayne's live performance is captured in studio recordings as well as on stage. With a style all his own he is surely destined to change the face of gospel music as he has transitioned back to what he considers to be his life's calling. Gospel has always been an intricate part of D. Wayne's artistic make up and after realizing R & B was just a gig, he has returned to where his destiny lies. With his greatest gospel influence from childhood being the world renowned singing evangelist, Reverend Gene Martin, D. Wayne is primed and readied to meet the challenge. After accepting the calling, he had the great fortune to meet Gene Martin and after communicating that Gene was his greatest influence to sing, a personal friendship evolved. D.
