Well, You Don’t Say: 9 Celebrities, Ballers, Authors And Vixens You Might Not Have Known Were Virgin Islanders

- By

Wayne Brady

Everyone’s favorite singing and dancing game show host and improvisationalist (I just made that word up obviously), Brady wasn’t necessarily born in VI, but his family is from the island. Wayne was raised by his grandmother, and when he speaks of her (he calls her mom actually), he often does a cute VI accent. The culture of Virgin Islanders has also influenced the music Brady likes, as well the music he makes. He told Black Voices that, “My family is from the US Virgin Islands so there was also a lot of Soca, Calypso and Reggae,” which he listened to often, and tried to find a way to integrate into his album, A Long Time Coming. Yeah, it’s okay if you didn’t know Wayne Brady dropped an album…
