‘Ah Cyah Wait’

Born in December of 1964 and from a family with a strong musical background, Wayne T.J. Pierre’s singing career started as a young boy who was determined to show the world what a “son of the soil” could accomplish. His creativity and rise took him to the next level; today he is a professional singer, composer and recording artist a.k.a. De Sappa, a name given to him by the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force during his 10 year-reign there as Calypso king from 2001 to 2010. He is now retired as a soldier but not from the Calypso art form.

Wayne has been writing and recording for the past 20 years. His biggest hits—such as “In Defence of T & T” and “Lock Down”—have taken him all over Trinidad & Tobago to perform and even for various primary schools, because of the message and lyrics he carries in his songs. His repertoire includes selections like ‘Something in de Panyard,’ ‘Men of Class,’ ‘Above the Law,’ ‘Think Security,’ ‘Buy Buy’ and much more.

In 2013 Wayne recorded Thank You Bertie for the Panorama season.  For 2014 the focus is on the track featured here, Ah Cyah Wait.

“2013 has been a successful year for me, having the band that performed my song Mash Up De Stage make it to the semi-finals of Trinidad & Tobago’s National Panorama. Although their journey stopped at the semis, to me making it that far was a success. 

“However, for 2014, my intentions are to raise the bar a little higher with the release of my new song Ah Cyah Wait produced by Dave Ramoutar with background vocals by Carol Jacobs.  Keeping on the same team that took us to the 2013 Panorama semi-finals, we expect even greater success for the upcoming year,” declares Pierre.
