Wayne is the rhythmic backbone of Phoenix Reign. He has been playing the drums since the age of 10, honing his skills to influences all over the rock and metal spectrum. He played in other bands in the Long Island area before joining Phoenix Reign but left them in order to focus his talents entirely on the latter. He has recently started to play guitar, which helps him in songwriting. Since he listens to so many different styles of music he can fit into any situation behind the drums, and being in Phoenix Reign sometimes thats not an easy task. Besides playing drums Wayne is a graphic artist. He's done work on the Phoenix Reign website, their Myspace page, also the logo for Rising Forces USA webzine.
