WAYNE MARSHALL - BIO
“Many are called but the chosen few,” Wayne Marshall sang on “Overcome,” one of his earliest breakthrough hits. “Nothing in this world that you cannot do.” Through a blend of hard work, determination, and undeniable talent, Marshall has managed to overcome all obstacles in his path, proving that these words were more than just catchy lyrics. To paraphrase the singer’s well-known catchphrase, his song proved to be Tru tru tru. And following this credo has afforded him the right to be counted among reggae’s chosen few.

Though best known as a dancehall performer, Wayne Marshall’s multifaceted abilities defy easy categorization. For more than a decade now, Marshall has evolved through different stages in the music industry, playing a crucial role both onstage and behind the scenes as a songwriter, producer, musician, and creative strategist. After collaborating with a variety of reggae’s important collectives, including Ward 21, Vybz Kartel, Sean Paul and Bounty Killer’s Alliance, Marshall has recently aligned himself with the Ghetto Youths International movement—with immediate and explosive results.

“ Wayne has always been a brethren of mine,” says Damian “Junior Gong” Marley of their collaborative chemistry. “Music is what made me know him. Wayne does a whole heap of writing, even for other artists. He has always had a gift for different topics, and he comes up with certain kinds of concepts.” But most of all Damian Marley rates Marshall for his drive. “He has a great ambition to work—and to cross over and be bigger than just, say, the dancehall market. Sometimes if you have too much ego it is a barrier. But he’s open to try anything to really further himself. He has good music and is always willing to learn.”

And the feeling is clearly mutual: “Damian has a lot of respect on the ground in Jamaica,” Marshall affirms. “He welcomes a different arm of artists who I don’t really know, which brings a different energy and unification. I’m very excited about where I am—productionwise and labelwise, I just feel good. It feels right. The whole Ghetto Youths movement that’s going on right now is crazy. You have Christopher Ellis carrying on his father’s legacy, and then there’s Black Am I and Joe Mersa coming up with raw talent and ability. The thing is alive and well.

Wayne Marshall first established his name with hardcore cuts like “Melody of War” on Ward 21’s Bellyas riddim and “When The Smoke Clears,” a devastating duet with Bounty Killer. Then in 2002 he had not one but two cuts on the internationally acclaimed Diwali riddim, featuring on Bounty Killer’s smash hit “Sufferer” as well as singing the inspirational solo cut “Overcome.” That track became not just a career-defining song, but a mantra of personal responsibility and inspiration: “Times well hard in yard today / If you don’t work then you won’t get pay / Many obstacles come along the way / Overcome, youths overcome.” More recently Marshall experimented with new sounds and styles on tracks like the internationally celebrated club banger “Messing With My Heart” as well as brainstorming the innovative Matrimony riddim, for which all the songs were conceptually linked by the topic of marriage—elevating the project from an ordinary dancehall juggling to a thematically unified mix with a video to match.

Since joining the Ghetto Youths camp, he’s released the epic posse cut “Go Hard,” which also features Damian Marley, Assassin, I-Octane, Bounty Killer, Aidonia, and—most surprisingly—the Worldboss himself, Vybz Kartel, who has been incarcerated for a year now. “Everybody wants to know how did we get Kartel on this track?” Marshall says with palpable enthusiasm. “It’s crazy. I really feel like that song is a big deal.” Extended mixes of the tune include verses from Sizzla, Kunley of Ward 21, and Bling Dawg—with remixes in the works that include lyricists from other creative traditions such as hip-hop and grime. Somehow as the artists pass the microphone like a baton in a relay race, the musical momentum never lets up—indeed, it only seems to increase as the track goes on.

Marshall says the creative process behind “Go Hard” started with him and co-producer Baby G seeking to create a “mixtape style” record around an explosive rhythm track built by in-demand studio musician Teetimus. “We wanted to make a big collaborative dancehall track with that kind of Wu-Tang feel,” Marshall explains. “Hip-hop energy blended with that dancehall snare—just something anthem-like.”

His debut album under the Ghetto Youths banner will be titled Tru Colors. The brooding title track is a complex psychological study about friendship and disappointment that shows Marshall’s creativity at its finest. Other standout tracks include “Beautiful Wrong” a collaboration with Demarco that looks at the hurtful aftermath of good love gone bad. “That one is all about meeting a girl who’s a heartbreaker,” says Marshall. “We have Konshens on that record as well and you know he did his thing. It was a good blend.” Meanwhile “Long Time” features a remix by one of Skrillex’s dubstep protégés. Other producers on the project include Marshall and his longtime creative partner Baby G, son of the legendary reggae producer King Jammy. “Our musical journey together is so close that we’re almost twins,“ says Marshall.

In addition to his own album, Marshall has collaborated with a unique coalition of Junior Gong, Tarrus Riley, and Bay-C of TOK. Though all four artists have distinctly different careers as individuals, they found that they work well together, making a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. “All of us are accomplished to various different levels, and young at the same time. To come together on a creative vibe—out of this world. Just building out of the silence of the studio just came forth sound and lyrics and ideas. It was just a melting pot of creative vibrations. Amazing.”

Aside from the foursome’s unique creative chemistry, Marshall felt it was important to send a message of unity within the reggae fraternity. “As you can see in the dancehall there’s a whole lot of segregation—crew against crew. This man stand off against that man. Man a war against this and that. As a music and as a movement, Ghetto Youths needed to show some solidarity at the end of the day. We can’t just a war-war. People gonna take us for some crabs in a barrel. We need that collective energy. In unity is strength.”

Not content to write, produce, and record music, Marshall has been developing his musicianship as well.. “I’m almost there. I’ve done my 10,000 hours,” he adds, referencing author Malcolm Gladwell’s formula for mastering a new skill. “I’m trying to dig deep,” he says of his Ghetto Youths affiliation. “I’ve done a whole lot of soul-searching and I’m ready now to unleash on a different level.” Consider this your final warning.]]> Daniel SNWMF Phorum 2013 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 12:58:55 -0800 http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,321917,322213#msg-322213 Re: SNWMF 2013 Presents - Ghetto Youth Crew http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,321917,322213#msg-322213

the 'problem' with the music arises when the artist reminds the audience from whence they(artist) came.

as long the artists keeps rolling the joints.. doesnt big up marcus too much.. and doesnt select from the local gyal pickings... then its all good.. but once that line is crossed, then its 'know your place blackie']]> bigvein SNWMF Phorum 2013 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 11:22:19 -0800
