GRANDMASTER

Wayne Peter Dear, aka Grandmaster, burst onto the Caribbean music scene with a vengeance when he set dancehall fans into a frenzy with his, "Put Yah Hands on the Bumper," for Crop Over '94. His next venture was for the Congaline Festival, wowing party revelers with "Ringbang in De Conga."

A newcomer to the music scene and the ICE Records label, he is motivated by drums. They "speak" to him. After hours of listening, he beings to write, very often committing these "messages" to paper, which later translate into hit songs
