About Me

Hi and thanks for stopping by my site. I’m a singer-songwriter-composer, as well as a television director-producer-writer. More information about the TV-production side of my career can be found at my website: www.waynegrajeda.com.I appreciate songs with strong melodies, intelligent, thought provoking lyrics and interesting harmonic structures. Rhythm is great, too, but for me melody and harmony can't be sacrificed for a groove. Anyway, that’s how I try to write. I was previously signed to Warner Bros. Records. I spent many years playing the Los Angeles and British music scenes and have been in and out of Europe for many years, too. Now I’m in Berlin, Germany where I gig solo, with a couple of duos and with my five-piece band. It’s great. Each situation lets me express myself in a different way.I like the possibilities technology has provided songwriters like myself and appreciate great musicianship.I try to stay on top of what’s popular at the moment but find I spend less and less time listening to radio rock, pop and folk. I’m more interested in music played by people I know or have met. Right now Ramesh Weeratunga, Robert Williams, John Vaughan, Michael Friedman, Bright Blue Gorilla and Paul Fogerty are among them. My last CD is called Chameleon and is available on Bluebird-Café Berlin Records or at CD Baby. Having said all that, half the time I don’t listen to music at all, rather the news. I’m a news junky.If you’d like to get to learn more about me, please visit my website (www.waynegrajeda.com) There’s much more information there. Again, thanks very much for stopping by.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 10/06/2008
Band Website: www.waynegrajeda.com
Band Members: Thomas Hoppe (Bass and Vocals) Dirk Morning (Drums) Renë Schostak (Electric Guitar) Silvia Christoph (Vocals) Wayne Grajeda (Vocals and Acoustic Guitar)
Influences: There is a very long list of artists who have influenced me. It’s fruitless to try to list them but the Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, Nik Kershaw (to my mind very underrated), Don Henley, Sting and Tears For Fears are among my favorite pop artists. As a kid I thrived on Black music but today I listen to as much orchestral, instrumental and jazz styles as I do anything else.
