Wayne Hernandez

Get ready for a soulful evening with the charismatic soul singer Wayne Hernandez who always gets the audience going with his infectious energy and amazingly powerful voice. He has a tight backing band that perform a repertoire of all-time soul and funk classics by Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield and even the odd reggae track by Bob Marley. Wayne himself is hugely successful session singer who has worked with the likes of Billy Ocean, Blur, Tina Turner, Madonna and the Gorillaz.

Wayne Hernandez is one of those fantastic singers who has been using his considerable talents for many years to make others sound good. Hugely successful within the music business he has worked with Tina Turner, Tori Amos, Blur, Grover Washington, Roberta Flack, Madonna and Rag'n'Bone Man. He has also toured extensively with Kool and the Gang, Regina Bell and most recently Billy Ocean, and is one of the singers with the band Gorillaz (oh, that guy!). Of Afro-Cuban heritage, Wayne is a long-time member of the London Community Gospel Choir and more recently the Kingdom Choir, who took the world by storm after performing at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. In addition, Wayne resided in New York for a number of years and describes his music as “…a living fusion of music styles from the Black music scene”. Also a well-established songwriter and producer, this multi-talented artist delivers a simply brilliant set of powerful groove music with an impressive eight-piece band of hand-picked musicians, including guitar, sax and backing vocals, that define the word “soul”.
