Dancehall artiste Wayne Marshall says "Forgive Them Please"
By: Tonya Russell
 American author Napoleon Hill once said that, "The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going" so even though Wayne Mitchell faced initial rejection from music producers and was told point blank "yuh no ready yet", his drive, persistence and tenaciousness ensured that the world heard him sing. With a large fan base here at home and an even wider fan base in the United States and Japan, one would never believe that Wayne 'Wayne Marshall' Mitchell's talent was ever in question.
In 2006 alone, the man who delivered 'Astronaut' on the Dem Time Deh Riddim, 'Forgot Them', 'Marry Juana', 'Make them Come' and 'Happy Days' has been featured on multiple stage shows including Fully Loaded, Saddle to the East, Solid Agency's School Tour, Campfire, Sting, Tempo anniversary show in St. Croix and countless stage performances in Japan, US, UK, Canada and the rest of the Caribbean.
Marshall's abounding self-confidence allows him to freely acknowledge his skill, and he recognised his own talent for lyrical construction as soon as he started penning soulful lyrics at 14. "From I was 7 years old I always dreamed of performing in front of huge crowds of people," smiles Marshall.
Marshall is definitely going places and cemented himself as one of Jamaica's respected song writers and crooners. He has recently shot a video for the single "Forgive Them Please", a video directed by prodigy Ras Kassa. The video sees Marshall depicting as a religious effigy asking the Father above to forgive those that go against his will. The video is currently being rotated on the local entertainment stations as well as MTV TEMPO. Besides "Forgive Them Please" Marshall is also enjoying rotation from "Polly-Tics" on the March Out Riddim a clever pun on Jamaican politics and the popular "Cocky" on the Untouchable Riddim.
His greatest achievement to date has not been the money, the fame, the exotic places he gets to visit or the recognition but in fact is his likeness Giovanni; a life-changing event, a catalyst that has transformed his career and his life. His devotion to his son caused him to be selected as the spokesperson for the National Family Planning Board (NFPB). Marshall has come on board with the NFPB's new campaign, which will focus on safe sex, and family planning, targeting various age groups. Add that to his Western Union and Cable and Wireless endorsements and Marshall's career and credibility is obviously booming.
"I don't want people to guess if Marshall was a good artiste... I want to be recognized as an established artiste, a bonafide hitmaker," says a smiling Marshall. Operating out of Solid Agency in Kingston, Marshall is determined to achieve more things in 2007 starting with Rebel Salute this weekend. Marshall has definitely sang his way into the hearts of many fans.

Wayne Marshall is my artiste for life no matter wat!!! From day 1 when Marshall came out with "when the smoke clears" with him and Bounty i took a great likeness towards him. How i got to put a face beside the voice was 1 day while i was attending Andrewz(the best skool eva) he was a judge at our Lip Sync concert..@ that time no 1 knew of him 'cept for me, from that day on he became my favorite artiste up on till now. U know wat i like about Wayne he's different from the rest of artistes he always sings positive songs..nothing degrading. Big up yout all the best 2 u in everything u do!!! Stay positive always....Love ur 1 and only #1 fan...KADIAN:-)
