Dramma Wayne / Wayne Kastro

Dwayne Vidal, known behind the decks as Dramma Wayne and as a recording artist as Wayne Kastro, is a Jamaican-born DJ, MC, rapper, producer and creative based in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Originally from Naylor’s Hill in Port Antonio, Portland, he brings more than 25 years of professional experience to a sound rooted in dancehall, reggae and hip-hop. His first inspiration was his uncle, a DJ in Jamaica whose skill at bringing music and sound systems to life sparked a lasting passion. After moving to the United States at age five, Dwayne began writing poetry in third grade—an early love of words that grew into songwriting and music.

DJing remains his first love, with rapping and beat-making close behind. His experience with Baseline 718 and later alongside his cousin Shorts Temper and Fadda Blacks helped sharpen his craft, discipline and connection to sound-system culture. He became part of the journey that brought Team Unstoppable together and now helps lead its operations, bringing musical experience, technical skills and a determination to build something the whole team can grow together. For Dwayne, the movement is about family, shared talent and supporting each other’s progress.

His music pairs an unmistakable raspy delivery with honest storytelling, faith and hard-earned perspective. Family, the people who believe in him and the resilience he has developed through personal loss continue to inspire his work. One of his proudest accomplishments is using money earned through music to help build a home for his mother in Jamaica. Onstage, he brings that same drive to the crowd: energetic sets, audience participation and a love of getting people moving, whether he is selecting dancehall or performing hip-hop.

Today, Dwayne is developing new music that reaches further into heartfelt stories of pain, love and ambition, while also building websites and apps that put his creativity and technical knowledge to work. He wants his legacy to reflect his positive contributions, his knowledge and his willingness to keep pushing forward. His message to the team and to anyone pursuing a dream is simple: “Know your worth. Love yourself. Live life, and never forget who you are.”
