WONDR discusses the ambition behind “All for You:”
“I just want to be portrayed as the person I am. I’m a kid from the north but raised in the south around plenty of southern hospitality. I respect my peers and those around me. I’ve always tried to put others before me and I enjoy bringing people together. I enjoy talking with new people and getting to know friends better. I’ve worked hard for everything I have because I know how much I’ve been given and the hardships my family has come from. I take nothing for granted. I always hustle hard because I know someone out there is always working harder. I respect people no matter what walk of life they come from or what others might think of them.”
He continues, “I was never popular in high school and took a lot of heat for dating girls who were. Because of that, I’ve learned how to deal with those who look to tear others apart, and how to related to those who also dealt with bullying or other forms of negativity. This has also made it tough for me to be vulnerable when I am a very emotional person and I tend to pour my heart into things I care about. Music has been a way for me, ever since, to express that vulnerability.”
Raised in North Carolina, WONDR was first introduced to hip-hop when his older brother (now manager) burned him a copy of Petey Pablo’s Diary of a Sinner: 1st Entry. From there, his love for music and ability to keep perfect rhythm grew. He played drums and guitar in countless bands throughout his childhood covering everything from Hendrix and Muse to Alan Jackson and Kid Rock. He found his calling writing raps in high school and after spending time in Brooklyn working and performing with artists in the underground scene, WONDR decided he was all in on a music career.
Stay tuned for more announcement from WONDR through the end of 2018 and well into the new year, as he continues his upward trajectory with “All For You.”
