I Wayne Signs to VP Records

Roots and culture artist I Wayne has signed a multi-album deal with VP Records. The talented

young singer who has recently topped the charts with songs like "Can't Satisfy Her" and "Living in Love"

will release his first album on VP in the 2nd quarter of 2005. VP Records is excited to continue their

support of roots and culture artists with positive and thought provoking messages.

I Wayne will be a member of an elite family of cultural artists who have released records with VP including Morgan Heritage, Luciano, Capleton, Bushman, Junior Kelly, Warrior King, and others. Chris Chin, President of VP Records had this to say about I Wayne joining the VP family “This is an artist that has a long career ahead of him, his talent has taken the industry by storm, and we are very pleased that he has decided to let VP help him build for the future". Recent performances from I-Wayne, who is 24 years old, have sent fans into a frenzy. His performance opening up for Capleton at Club Amazura and at the Long Island Music Fest with Bunny Wailer, Luciano, Half Pint, and Tony Rebel had the masses screaming for more. His tremendous stage performances and heavy radio airplay have every indication that the artist will be a breakout success in 2005. VP Records A&R rep Neil Diamond, who has been working with the artist and his management team Loyal Soldiers, was enthusiastic about the signing. "There needs to be a new breed of artists to carry on the traditions of the legends in this business, and we feel that this artist could be the

next Luciano, Garnett Silk, or Jacob Miller."
