Meet Wayne Chiyangwa, professionally known as Wayne the Maestro—a versatile artist from Botswana. He was born on November 7th in Harare, Zimbabwe. Despite being a passionate music listener during his high school days, Wayne initially showed no interest in creating music. However, his musical taste was influenced by artists like Amir Obe, Eli Sostre, Roy Woods, Drake, and The Weeknd, shaping his musical palette. In 2018, Wayne entered the music scene by releasing tracks on SoundCloud, initially with modest reception. Despite this, he persisted and took a brief hiatus in 2019 before making a notable return in 2020, coinciding with the global pandemic. This marked the beginning of his professional music career, gaining attention from listeners. In December of that year, Wayne collaborated with Jack Monster on the track “Walala Wasala,” opening doors to partnerships with talents like Shaba Stele, Abitola, and Teddy West. The turning point came in 2021 with the release of Wayne’s debut album, “Long Story Short,” which reached the second spot on the Apple Music R&B/Soul Charts in Botswana, significantly elevating his profile. Building on this success, Wayne unveiled his second album, “Before the Balloons,” in January 2022. As Wayne the Maestro continues to evolve, the future holds exciting prospects for this young artist. Stay tuned for the unfolding chapters of his promising musical journey!
