Freshstart

Born in Montego Bay, in 1974, Wayne Clarke (AKA Freshstart) now resides in Portmore, St. Catherine, Jamaica. Wayne is a devout member of Portmore United Church and one of the most prominent voices in APS' growing stable of artists. Inspired by artists such as Papa San, Kirk Franklin and DJ Nicholas, Clarke began his ministry with the primary goal of taking the gospel of Jesus Christ to the dancehalls and clubs through his deejaying skills. Freshstart got his start performing at a local talent gospel showcase that was hosted by his church at local shopping mall. When asked about his greatest accomplishment, he humble responds, "Giving my life to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." He is also very proud of his latest recording, his forthcoming solo debut, "Let Me Speak". His other recent contributions to the gospel reggae arena can be found on APS' "March out", "Gospel fi Share 1 and 2" and "Sing Fi Jesus". Freshstart has a heart for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ all over the world--not just in churches but also on sound systems like Stone love and Metro Media. APS CEO Roger "DJ Dre" Facey describes Clarke as an "Exciting artist in the gospel arena with a bright future ahead of him." Wayne describes himself as a Christian and a spiritual man of God. He is a family orientated individual who loves to study the Bible and preach the Word. Wayne love to crack jokes and is fun to be around. He has been described as simply outrageous for Christ. But all fun and jokes aside, Wayne's one true desire is that the world would know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
