WAYNE''S AUTOBIOGRAPHY:
I was born blind January 16, in Denver. I attended public school and was interested in music and recording from about the age of 6. I''ve formally studied formal music from the age of about 12 onward. I still study now even though I consider myself professional. I attended Long Beach State University and graduated with a Black Studies degree where I also studied music. Because Black Studies geared me to the human resources side of things, I''ve earned a Bachelors of Arts Degree.
I have many years of customer service experience, and have worked professionally in the music industry since the age of 20. To date, I''ve produced five projects -- two for myself "Love Notions and Rocking in Jesus; some of the guys that help me were, Brian Horn lead guitar,
Tricky bass, Jimmy Williams guitar and vocals, keyboard, by yours truly.
" we hope to get some local and national radio airtime soon.
One for the "Determinations" (a gospel quartet music group) I am also working on a (four woman acoustic rock group) call "Cadence," we are looking for funding to finish off there project.
I also produced a rap group called the "Preachers in the Hood." These guys were former gang members and they are currently rapping for God. In addition, we, meaning Johnnie Johnson my partner, wrote, edited and produced a movie called "Even Me" which I was one of the stars in, and if you want a copy of, I''m sure we can get you one or two VHS or DVD''s for a small cost. We did it for no cost, so some of the rough spots are still in it due to no budget. It runs for about 50 minutes, and we''ve gotten some airtime on TO Cable. We currently produce programs on Comcast-DCTV 57, and KBDI 12 called "Innervision." Innervision is a musical show case of local bands and single acts, program showing and promoting the accomplishments of the disabled and able bodied.

What motivates me to stay involved in this business is to help disadvantaged individuals as well as the physically challenged in the state of Colorado. Before I considered myself a professional; now I am a professional, blind musician in the music and production business. To date, there are only a few like the late Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Jose Feliciano; also there''s a woman named Jerry Joel''s who has cerebral palsy. There was another gentlemen name Tom Sullivan who had success in the filming industry and also recorded an album. I believe that once he made so much money, he gave up the fight. The bottom line is there are only a few professional physically challenged individuals in the entertainment field. More importantly, there are many physically challenged and disadvantaged individuals who would like to have the opportunity to accomplish things that can assist them in their daily living.
In addition, as a blind musician and artist, I find that it is very difficult for me to get back and forth from specific activities (unless transportation is hired or provided). I find that it is difficult for people to accept what the blind can do and what they do because of the stereotypes that exist. Many times, physically challenged people are not dressed properly and of course, may not have the movements or looks that are expected; many obviously need help in this area. So we intend to fill in the gaps as we increasingly book them and make them look very appealing--whether they''re doing gospel or Top 40 or whatever they have. Innervision Productions think it''s very important! Because of the nature of our business, we became involved in gospel products because we are Christians and we want to get the good news out to the people.
I have a good working knowledge of what it takes to operate all new equipment and quickly learn on new equipment. My background includes working in recording studios both professionally and in my own business (for 10 or 20 years). Due to my own life experiences and my experience working in customer service for many years, I am very equipped to help others. Although it sounds boastful, I know my craft very well!
Certainly in this business, one needs to have a good deal of confidence and connections.
