Wayne grew up in the church and growing up in the country (Kinloss, Trelawny) there wasn't that much activity and entertainment besides what we found at the church Stoddart Explained. His interest in music also grew from the fact that his father had a wide collection of music from Gospel to R&B and Reggae, also there was always music in the church. 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. The first public recognition Stoddart received was at a concert at Clarks Town Primary School. " I was in grade 4 a the time and I just started singing a pop song and doing all the dance moves. The class went wild." As a result of that primary school experience, Wayne and his brother Steve started singing together as the Stoddart Brothers. Everywhere Wayne went music followed and 'visa' 'versa'. Wayne was a local High School singing star at William Knibb High School and when he went to college he formed the all male quartet Dunamis and the results were the same (the Class of 94' Excelsior Community College). Stoddart worships at the Mountain View New Testament Church Of God where he is the Musical Director for all choirs. Wayne formed the Gospel group Dynamis from the local members of the church and produced the album 'Fulfillment' as a church project. In March 1996 the group was nominated Best Performing Gospel Band at the Jamaica Music Awards (JAMI) for the 'Fulfillment' Project. Wayne has shared stage with artist such and Shirley Caesar, Rev F. C. Barnes and The Grace Thrillers to name a few. Wayne Stoddart’s album COMMITTED has been nominated Best New Reggae Gospel album for the New York Caribbean Gospel Awards 2002. Stoddart has recently migrated to New York. He now worships ant Eastchester Church of God in the Bronx. Wayne continues to expand in his ministry healing the wounded, comforting the brokenhearted, setting the captive free and tearing down the strongholds of the enemy through the power of Jesus Christ.
