Wayne Kirkpatrick

Wayne, a Grammy and Dove Award winning writer, grew up writing music. He wrote his first song, "Lady Wind" when he was 14. At a Bible camp someone gave him a couple simple lessons on the guitar, and from then on, he was always locked in his room with the guitar, writing song upon song. As his father was a pastor, many of Wayne's songs were tested out on the congregation. Wayne got his first big break when his brother got a demo tape to Amy Grant's manager, Michael Blanton. Before long, Kirkpatrick had his first record cut with Billy Sprague, a song called "What A Way To Go."

But Wayne's really big break came when Amy Grant herself called up Wayne saying she wanted to use his song, "Wise Up" on her "Unguarded" album. Wayne has been writing songs for Amy ever since.

Now, after 24 years of songwriting and over 200 record cuts ranging from country to comtemporary Christian to pop to R&B, Wayne has finally released his own album, entitled "The Maple Room".
