© THE URBAN NETWORK 8 VOLUME 19 NUMBER 8 Looking for a crowd pleasing, truly outstanding act with showmanship to burn? We've got just the Artist for you; that Artist is hot and sultry, Bishop Wayne. When it comes to outstanding R&B, Bishop Wayne's music is in a league of its own. Bishop Wayne's independently produced CD, "I'm Just Me," is one classy musical ride, delivering to fans 16 tracks of what Bishop Wayne describes as "Alternative R&B". To elaborate further his style: it is a combination of the romantic and sexy 'old school style R&B', (in the vein of such unforgettable greats as Marvin Gaye and Al Green), com- bined with a more contemporary style, (Tracy Chapman, John Legend); mix in a little Santana-esque guitar work, a little Bruce Hornsby-esque piano work, backing the super smooth vocal capabilities very distinctive of Bishop Wayne's sound. One more element that is added that makes Bishop Wayne's sound unique, (even beyond the unique combination of elements so far), is the 'island vibe' mixed in, with songwriting skills comparable and reminiscent to the late, great and legendary Lucky Dube. Bishop Wayne has performed at a variety of venues including festivals, concerts and clubs, from the smaller, intimate settings to the larger ven- ues like the opening act for Ryan Shaw, making him an excellent choice as the opening act for your event both national and international. Bishop Wayne has a steadily growing fan base and has recently been heavily covered in the press both nationally and worldwide, and is gain- ing interest in the media, so fans are well aware of his upcoming tour, and are looking forward to seeing Bishop Wayne perform live. Since the release of Bishop Wayne's CD "I'm Just Me, tracks from the CD have gained an impressive and steadily increasing amount of airplay on a number of mainstream and internet radio stations, both nationally and worldwide, during the on going radio airplay campaign that is cur- rently underway for the CD's promotion. Bishop Wayne is also gaining a significant amount of requests as a guest on radio stations.
