Born Von Wayne Charles on July 26 in Buff Bay, Portland, Wayne's initial singing inspiration came from attending Sunday school, where singing was compulsory, and from his mother who sang in church.
As a child Wayne and his family moved all over eastern Kingston, living in areas such as Dunkirk, Franklin Town and Rae Town, home of the weekly Sunday night Reggae/R&B oldies street dance.
The exposure to vintage 45's at these dances would provide Wayne with a richer, more soulful vocal approach to a Reggae rhythm track than many of his contemporaries. It was at secondary school where Wayne's thoughtfulness and philosophical nature led to the acquisition of the nickname Wonder.
Young Wayne sang at school, at home, at church and for his friends and wherever he sang, he was encouraged to pursue his craft professionally.
