Material is generally Pop with twists of Ska, Electronic, Hip Hop and Rock. Waynes diverse musicial influences include Queen, Travis, Super Grass, Faith No More, and Blur as well as a variety of current artists.

Whiz Kidz could most likely be compared to a mix of Blur, Madness, Supergroove, Faith No More and the B52's. Wayne, a competent keyboardist writes and records demos of all the songs on his keyboard and then progresses them to a band situation for the recording.
