If you have a place in your heart for good, positive, uplifting music, you will definitely find a favorite track on the new COMMITTED CD. Wayne Stoddart is a root rock reggae gospel artist who sends the message of God's 'Bountiful Love' in the language and heart beat music of the Jamaican people. It is good quality reggae production that first holds the listeners... then the message comes home ... and then the question is asked "...is this gospel?" Yes it is-- only it is Undiluted one-drop Roots Reggae Gospel. Deeply inspired by the music of Bob Marley and Jamaica's 70s - 80s roots reggae style, Stoddartïs lyrics and music are true to life , deeply rooted in the Word and created on quality reggae rhythms. There is a signature of originality in all of his music. His sound is unique and it brings a breath of fresh air to the gospel music fraternity. He is truly among the few (so rear and dying) quality reggae acts of the decade with such positive, uplifting lyrics and originality, writing 9 of the 12 songs on this collection. This CD is a 'must get' for all quality music lovers!

Wayne was born in Kingston Jamaica and migrated to the country to live with his father in Trelawny where he attended William Knibb Memorial High School. Upon completion of high school in 1990 he returned to Kingston to complete college at Excelsior Community. The Gospel Artist lived in the deep inner-city community of Eastern Kingston (Mountain View) and existed amidst the harsh culture of the Kingston ghetto, Stoddart was able to sustain his identity as a child of God. The experiences of his environment has lead to the lyrics of comfort, encouragement and solution for exit from the hands of the enemy of humanity - the devil - for the the oppressed and depressed seeking a way out or rather up. The title track COMMITTED is a prime example of the root of Wayne Stoddart's message.
