BIOGRAPHY

Nigeria born, Berlin based Wayne Snow took early musical inspiration from legends such as, Fela Kuti and King Sunny Ade and began to experiment with instruments at a very young age.

His first musical breakthrough came in the form of the Red Runner EP, released on Tartelet records in 2014. Working with the widely praised producer Max Graef the pair wrote both “Under the Moon” and “Red Runner” which put him firmly on the map of the emerging future soul / jazz scene at the time. Shortly after they dropped the stunning “Rosie” EP as well as the highlight of Max’s album “Running”. These influential first productions lead up to the release of his his debut LP “Freedom TV" which was loudly applauded by the scene and championed heavily by key tastemakers like Giles Peterson.

Wayne is also responsible for the prolific “Nightbirds” project which he set up together with globetrotting superstar FKJ and regular collaborator Darius, both projects released via France’s Roche Musique. You can find his sublime vocal performances on productions with artists like Folamour, Neue Graffik, Noah Slee via imprints like Brownswood, Dekmantel, Rhythm Section etc.
