Dancehall star Wayne Marshall is a new father. His son Geomar Yohan Mitchell was born last Wednesday at the Arnold Palmer Women and Children Hospital in Orlando, Florida. He weighed in at 7 lbs and 12 ounces. The child’s mother is former Miss Jamaica World beauty queen and former television show host Regina Beavers.

Marshall, whose real name is Wayne Mitchell was quite elated when this column caught up with him on the weekend. “I am the happiest man on the earth. I used to hear bout how other fathers felt to have their first born but I never dreamed it would feel this way. I am absolutely elated and excited especially because the baby is so healthy and doing fine and of course his mother shares my sentiments. I am now looking forward to fatherhood and trying to make my son be the best man he can possibly be,” said Marshall.

Marshall is hot on the charts these days. He has been enjoying a renewed presence at local radio. He recently topped the B Mobile Mega Jamz Dancehall Chart and the RJR Top 20 Chart with Make Them Come. His latest chart entries include Die without You (on the Giggy rhythm) and Marry Wanna (on the Mista Wilks label). His Happy Days song on Donovan Bennett’s Seasons rhythm is reportedly doing well.
