I Wayne was raised by his aunt and her husband Ansell Collins, a renowned keyboard player. This young artist has been refining his craft since age seven. Coming from a musical family, I Wayne had first made his venture into performance as a student at Greater Portmore High School, joining a local group Vibes Machine. The group, consisting of singers and DJs, used to perform at afterwork parties at popular clubs like Cactus and Asylum. One night, the artiste was forced to perform alone due to the fact that his bandmates were running extremely late. The response was tremendous, and I Wayne was motivated to perfect his solo act.
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 playlist of Hot 97, the influential hip-hop radio station in New York City.
In November of 2004, I Wayne signed a record deal with VP Records to release his debut album, Lava Ground. 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".
I Wayne’s first week sales from his sophmore album Book of Life (Nov. 6, 2007) walked him straight to the top of the Billboard charts at the #4 spot in the reggae category.

[x2]
In I Wayne's song Life Seeds, the lyrics express a message about the importance of living a pure and positive life. The singer proclaims to have sewn life seeds, burying the negativity of Babylon or the corrupt system, and flowing as cool as the breeze, feeling irie and merry. The perfect sun symbolizes the growth of life trees, where the singer sips life apple and cherry. The trust and faith in Rastafari will never go because this faith burns with the same intensity as the fire that will burn the cannibal dread, symbolizing the end of the negativity and the restoration of peace.
The song highlights the violence and war happening around the world. The singer acknowledges the bloodshed and fights he must face for living pure. He notes how people have no love for each other anymore, and Babylon has become like a vampire, sucking the blood of innocent children. Despite the warnings and teachings, people ignore and continue living in sin. Rastafari, the way of life, provides salvation and protection from the dangers of Babylon. The fire burns hotter than before, and it is necessary to "burn them complete from crust to core" to end the negativity.
