Artist Profile

Jan Wayne

Jan Wayne belongs to one of the few artists who really scooped the music industry in recent times. Within less a year, he developed to one of the most successful dance producers and hottest DJs in Europe. The unbelievable number of national and international sold CDs testifies to this fact.

Born in January 1974, he already had a very strong interest in music during his childhood. Inspired by the record collection of his older brother, he began to assemble quite a collection of vinyl records. Parties with his classmates provided the first opportunities for "performances." After finishing school and parallel to his apprenticeship in banking, he tried to get into closer touch with nearby clubs. He was allowed to perform short sets during the breaks of resident DJs. His first solo bookings followed soon after.

In 1992 Jan joined a booking agency. Within a short time, his sphere of activity spread and covered virtually all of Germany. Playing the greatest techno and trance tunes along with cool vocal house sounds, hot R&B music and the best classics of the 70s and 80s, helped him to become resident DJ in various clubs. Besides his work as DJ, he got a job as a promoter, which provides him an insight into the music business.

Jan has a number of dance hits under his belt, from 2001's Total Eclipse of the Heart to the 2008 issue of Numb, an outstanding cover of the famous Linkin Park song.
