Wayne Cornell jr

The Sydney based crooner has grown up in the Entertainment industry watching his Mother, respected vocalist Cheryl Assang and his Father, Mo award winner Wayne Cornell, treading the boards throughout Australia, to fronting his own 10 piece orchestra.
Knowing his show is the most important tool which connects with his fans. He demands his orchestra be tight and loud. Music flows from their instruments and a great deal of passion for these arrangements fill every corner of the room.
Wayne smacks you straight in the face with his vocals which immediately conjures up images in your mind of icons from the past. He slips straight in with these legends as though he was always part of the pack.
Don't be mistaken - he's an individual! You won’t find a Frank, Sammy or Dean impersonator on Wayne's Stage!
The huge range of material Wayne chooses to perform is astounding and all songs performed are perfectly arranged and executed.
Wayne's movements on stage are a throw-back to all the Jazz & big band performers throughout the years. Using the stage and his body he is a natural interpreter of music. Wayne perfected his stagecraft during his Cover band days but nothing brings him more joy as the natural feeling he projects when performing in front of his big band.
Working with his musical director Andrew Robertson they came up with a big band sound that rocks but with a touch of smooth. The initial results was exactly what he wanted.
With no record deal to date over 20,000 copies of “Cover Story” are sitting proudly in homes across Australia and the world. our second record is ready to record now we just need backing.
Wayne was born in the wrong era and thank god for that.
