I Wayne (born Cliffroy Taylor 1980 in Portmore, Jamaica), is a roots reggae singer. He is known for his hits Living In Love and Can't Satisfy Her from his debut album Lava Ground.
In the summer of 2004, Wayne released Can't Satisfy Her, in the new wave of reggae. The track was reportedly the first roots reggae song to be added to the influential Hot 97 playlist.[1]
His album Lava Ground was praised for returning to reggae's "essential roots" in contrast to popular reggae artists who induce listeners to "dance and groove to their carefree music".[2]
