In October 2011 launched Waylon The Escapist, the first single from his second album After All, published on 3 November. Then came the singles Lose It and Lucky Night. Although the CD scored moderately on the charts, Waylon joined the established names. So in April 2012 he was named best singer at the 3FM Awards.
