OLDIES SUNDAY: @Wayne_Marshall – Overcome (2002)

True true true, wooooo. For today’s Oldies Sunday, we highlight a Jamaican Artist who was recently awarded the Order of Distinction at the National Heroes’ Day ceremony on Heroes Day (October 16). His name is Wayne Mitchell, but we know him as Wayne Marshall, and we feature his single, “Overcome“.

Produced by Lenky Marsden on the “Diwali Riddim” and released through 40/40 Productions in 2002, Wayne Marshall provided words of encouragement on “Overcome”. The Singjay highlights the hardships many experience daily, and with the right guidance, they can move past them all for a better life. Marshall provided his signature delivery throughout, complimenting the production perfectly, which resulting into a hit for him. Add to the popularity of the “Diwali Riddim”, “Overcome” was played everywhere, and gave Marshall more looks in various parts of the world. “Overcome” was featured on the debut album “Marshall Law“, which was released in 2003.

Since the release of “Overcome”, Wayne Marshall continued to enjoy a music career filled with a number of high points. Aside from the music, he enjoys life as a family man with Wife, former Recording Artist Tami Chin-Mitchell, became a successful Youtuber, was recently recruited by CVM TV for a talk show series, became a household name outside of music, and given one of Jamaica’s highest honours. Regardless of his path now, many remember his signature “True true true“, and his hit single “Overcome”.
