Wayne Campbell also known as Patrick Irie was born in the Waterhouse area of Kingston, Jamaica and grew up in Trelawny. He moved back to Kingston at around 15 years of age and immediately immersed himself in the vibrant sound system culture of the island's capital. His first release was in 1986 for Sugar Minott's Youth Promotion label and was entitled "No Touch The Crew", sung over a version of Admiral Bailey's popular "Two Year Old" rhythm track.
His first Jamaican hit, a collaboration with DJ Wayne Fire, was a cut of Clement Irie's massive smash "Koloko", entitled "Girls Dem Anthem" and was produced by Redman.

1996 saw Wayne having local hits on the Howlers label with tunes like "Too Trigger Happy" and "Mr Lover Man". Like many other up and coming yard singers he has voiced for a number of producers but is still waiting for many of these tunes to be released.

Wayne Campbell has voiced countless dub plate specials for top Jamaican sound systems like Bass Odyssey, Jam Rock, Travellers, African Star, Youth Promotion, Metromedia and Creation Music. Abroad, he has voiced for the awesome King Addies from New York and England's finest like Coxsone, Saxon and Love Injection.

Wayne visited England in 1996 and linked up with Rootsman to record a number of tracks. One of these "A Matter Of Time" was released on French-label Hammerbass Records. The rest of the tracks remain unreleased.

In 1999, Wayne began producing for his own Kamau label in Jamaica, and scored a popular hit with Capleton's "Overtime Bomb".  Wayne Campbell is currently working with Rhythmax Records, and has released  his latest single "Depend On Me", which is the title track for his upcoming album.
