Early life
Wonder was born in Buff Bay, Jamaica. As a youth, Wayne attended Camperdown High School in eastern Kingston and started writing at the age of 13, receiving a major career break when he was given a regular weekly slot at Metro Media in Allman Town.
He volunteered at Sonic Sounds Studio, but although Sly Dunbar was impressed, his touring with Black Uhuru disqualified him from joining Wonder. He had more success with King Tubby, who released his first album, "Long and Lasting Love," in 1985, with two more following. Wonder's career came to an end when Tubby was killed in 1988, and he performed for a number of other record designers at Sonic Sound, bringing the Lloyd Dennis–produced "It's Over Now" to his first album, One More Chance, although his fame in this period was limited.
His fortunes increased when he began working with Dave Kelly, a friend from primary school who had been hired as a resident sound engineer at Penthouse Studios. The partnership had a string of hits, beginning with "Saddest Day," and they also appeared on Wonder's second album, Part 2. "Forever Young" by Alphaville's 1990 live performance was captured and later released to Alphaville fans in a limited, cassette-only collection called History. In 1992, he and fellow Penthouse performers Marcia Griffiths, Tony Rebel, and Buju Banton all toured the UK. He also wrote "Bonafide Love (Movie Star)" with Buju Banton and wrote several early hits for him, including the controversial "Boom Bye Bye." In 1994 as part of the Penthouse Showcase, he appeared with Banton again. Wonder formed Alias alongside Kelly, Baby Cham, Frisco Kid, and Frankie Sly, which later became Entourage.
Wonder released his own record label, Singso, in 2000, and his 2000 album Da Vibe saw him incorporate hip hop into his music. With his 2001 album Schizophrenic, he collaborated with many other well-known musicians, including Jason Dalyrimple of Soul for Real, Foxy Brown, and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, and the march toward hip hop has soared.
His career took off internationally when he signed to Atlantic Records, gaining worldwide fame with the song "No Letting Go" in 2003. The song is based on the Diwali riddim, which has also been used by many other artists this year, including Sean Paul, Lumidee, and Missy Elliott. The single reached No. 1 in the United States. In the United States, 11 people are among the nation's top 100 and No. 1 are not. In the United Kingdom, there are three.
On urban radio stations in the United States, "No Letting Go" and the album No Holding Back were a huge success, and the introduction of several compilation albums based on older Wonder stuff, including Trojan Records' Inna Bashment Style: The Roots Of An Urban Warrior (2005).
In 2007, Foreva, a new album, was released. It's now No. 1 in the United States. Top Reggae Albums chart at 6: In the United States Top Reggae Albums chart, 6 is the highest on the chart.
In December 2012, his album My Way was released. He appeared on the Never Mind the Buzzcocks identity parade in October 2014.
