Influences
WAAAAAAAAAAAAY to many to name, but if I had to take the top 5 they would be:
Donald Lawrence and The Tri-City Singers (Can't You Tell?!)
Richard Smallwood and Vision (The smartest singers and greatest songwriter I know!)
Walter, Edwin, and The Hawkins Family (They've paved the way for true singers)
Andre' Crouch (Chairman of the Board)
Thomas Whitfield (Never known an artist who was before their time and right on time all at the same time!)
There are so many other artist that are current that influence my music and help teach me about what it takes to make it in this industry. Many of these artist I'm honored to say are my "Friends". I love you ALL!
Few artists of any genre have entered the industry with the resume of multiple Stellar Award winner DeWayne Woods. Protégé’ of famed producer Donald Lawrence, Woods’ has served as background coordinator for some of today’s biggest talent, including mega-popstar Celine Dion, jazz saxophonist Kirk Whalum and Atlantic Starr, for which he sang lead vocals on two albums. Woods has also backed some of Gospel’s finest. John P. Kee, Kurt Carr, Karen Clark Sheard and many others have sought him out for recordings and live performances. Woods, along with Grammy nominated producers PAJAM, also shared Vocal Producer duties on Byron Cage’s “An Invitation to Worship” and “Live from the Apollo-Proclamation.”
Woods moved from behind the scenes to center stage with his debut project Introducing DeWayne Woods & When Singers Meet - the first release from Donald Lawrence’s Quiet Water Entertainment under the Zomba Gospel umbrella. The CD surpassed everyone’s expectations, selling tens of thousands of units and garnering five 2008 Stellar Award nominations (Song of the Year, for “Let Go”, written by P.J. Morton, New Artist of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, Urban Inspirational Single/Performance of the Year and Recorded Music Package of the Year). Woods turned four of those nominations into Stellar gold, receiving recognition as New Artist of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, and Urban Inspirational Single/Performance of the Year; Morton also won for Song of the Year. The project has peaked at 5 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums and the CD’s first single “Let Go” rose to the 4 spot on the Billboard Hot Gospel Songs Chart.
Also an actor, Woods has appeared in a number of stage plays with artists such as Peabo Bryson, Dave Hollister, Morris Day, Deniece Williams, Dottie Peoples and Cuba Gooding, Sr. He also starred in the musical stage play “Sing Hallelujah”, the brainchild of Donald Lawrence and Worth Gardner.
