Influences: Grover Washington, Roberta Flack

Wayne Hernandez is a powerhouse vocalist whose rich, breathtaking voice anchors a fusion of soul, Latin, and gospel sensibilities drawn from the Black music tradition. With an eight-piece band featuring guitar, saxophone and backing vocals, he delivers groove-heavy sets that reflect decades of work as a session singer and backing vocalist for major artists, alongside his ongoing roles with Gorillaz and the Kingdom Choir. His Afro-Cuban heritage and long tenure with the London Community Gospel Choir infuse his music with spiritual depth and rhythmic sophistication.
