Before The Wonder
Ebony Naomi Oshunrinde was born on December 28, 1996 in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, to Jozie Oshunrinde. Ebony doesn’t own the typical origin story you’d expect a music producer to have. She wasn’t passionate about music in the beginning, in fact, whenever she was in a place where music grew too loud for her taking, she’d find an escape.

She then began using music software Mixcraft on her family’s home computer. Anxious for people to hear her work, she began to release beats on SoundClick and Facebook.

Ebony Oshunrinde, aka WondaGurl, has been honing her craft since she was 9 years old. WondaGurl’s talent first came to light at the 2011 Battle of the Beatmakers in Toronto, where as a 14 year old, she competed making it through to the quarter finals. She left an indelible impression with the quality of her work, and her calm, collected demeanour. It was this performance that caught the eye of super-producer Boi-1Da, who took her under his wing as he mentored her at the Remix Project Studio in Toronto.
