Wayne was born in Dubbo, New South Wales, Australia. His earliest recollections are of life in the small 'railway town' of Werris Creek. His earliest musical recollections are of singing Slim Newton's classic, 'Red Back On The Toilet Seat' to his kindergarten classmates for his weekly news item. Wayne's mother, Sandra, however tells that she used to play piano in a dance band and would have baby Wayne safely tucked away under the piano while she played. (That explains so much!)

A succession of small, rural New South Wales towns following his stepfather's work as a railway man, general freight carrier/furniture removalist/mail contractor, foreman on an avocado plantation and ultimately tourist coach driver, blurred Wayne's formative years. Though he liked to sing along to his parent's records of Charley Pride and Johnny Horton, Wayne never revealed an interest in one day becoming a musician. Then, out of the blue he decided to answer a classified ad seeking a singer for a band. He was 15 and the music 'bug' had taken hold. The band, 'UNCUT', became quite popular around the district of his high school hometown of Parkes.

But, time goes by and boys grow up. Wayne headed off to University to study for a diploma in teaching to gain some sort of stability and direction in his life. Boy did he get it. There he met his future wife, Jodie-Lea. Wayne continued to play music to help pay his way through University, (usually Uni. bar nights for $80 and all the beer he could drink), but still, music as a career was never in his thoughts. He got the diploma, got the girl and headed off into the work-a-day world.

For Wayne's 25th birthday, his wife bought him a beautiful, black Takamine acoustic guitar. Had she known the trials and tribulations to come, she may well have thought twice. It was also around this time that Wayne first heard Garth Brooks. A fateful introduction; Wayne had never written a song before, now two months later he'd written his first album. Wayne always credits Garth's music with 'unlocking something inside him'.
Despite outstanding critical reviews and support from the country music media, bad deals and a frustrating relationship with an inept record company meant Wayne's resolve for a music career would be sorely, and endlessly it seemed, tested.

'If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself'. With this maxim ringing loud and true, Wayne has written and produced his new album, 'Lessons'. Again, the early critical reviews have been exceptionally favourable.

His voice, remarkable. His song writing, passionate. His talent, undeniable.

This time, the music world will hear a lot more about Wayne Law.

It seems 'Lessons' are not wasted on this country boy.
