Wayne Caparas
Wayne is a peculiar artist. Well versed in apologetics and the complete history and teachings of Jesus, his journey of atheist-turned-evangelist, hypocrite-turned-disciple, and crucified-turned-born-again is a story of repentance and transformation that God has used to challenge many. Known best for his raw soulful voice and original passion plays and other scripts, Wayne has served as a guest singer/songwriter, worshipper, or actor on numerous Christian recordings and a wide variety of stage productions and multi-media broadcasts. Wayne also serves as a impassioned Gospel teacher and motivational story teller for several grassroots ministries including the Fellowship of Christian Athletes -- a ministry his teenage daughter Amber serves as well. Since 2000 Wayne has also sown his talents as a media director and outreach strategist to assist in the planting of several inter-denominational churches while also serving as a worship leader and drama director when needed. On the forefront Wayne is working toward the completion of a manuscript concerning the most overlooked words and works of Jesus as recorded in the four Gospels of the bible. Though the Furman Scholar and College of Charleston honor graduate has continued his studies with two decades of advanced biblical, scientific, and historical research (including significant post-graduate coursework in Christian theology), his first book will be a everyman's guide of sorts, written from the perspective of one called out of the world, broken, born again, and restored through the hidden messages and deepest truths of Christ. These themes drive the songs in Gospel Project. The album is in essence the preamble to Wayne's manuscript, as his transformative and evocative lyrics are entirely founded on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the crucified/born again life. In telling Wayne's biography, nothing better reveals his heart and obedience to the high calling of Christ than the fruit of his only child, Amber. As a single dad Wayne has raised up a teenage girl in America to the born again life in Christ despite a tragically tumultuous, single-parent childhood and 12 years of public school exposure. Amber, now 18, is already a Gospel teacher and repentant witness to her generation and is also a singer/songwriter for God. Click here for a current news article about Amber.

When not writing or teaching or acting or singing the Gospel, Wayne lives it in the field as an award-wining media producer, brand strategist, and business writer at the head of Caparas Media, a global network of free-lance digital artists and media professionals who value freedom over mammon. As a mainstream journalist and featured writer, Wayne has seen many dozens of his articles and images published in international magazines and regional newsprint alike. Wayne is a U.S. Chamber of Commerce Blue Chip Enterprise designee, a two-time Entrepreneur of the Year finalist for South Carolina, and in 1995 became the youngest man ever to garner Small-Business Man of the Year honors from the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce. Wayne is also a member of the Screen Actors Guild.
