Ones To Watch In 2011: Wundah

Joe Grime’s pick for Ones To Watch is London based producer/songwriter/artist Wundah

Originally from Trinidad & Tobago he moved to the UK in 2000, initially looking at music as a hobby. After starting his career as a rapper he found himself turning his hand to production; teaching himself production skills and setting up his own facility (now known as Blessed Youth Studios). He has worked alongside the likes of General Levy & J-Rock & Randy (Formerly Of Big Brovaz) as well as lesser know unsigned acts.

In developing his production style Wundah drew from his upbringing in Trinidad producing many different genres ranging from hip hop, pop, alternative and dance music. It was during this period he also found his true voice and began DJ-ing Jamaican Style on choruses of hip hop tracks.

Wundah produced the Flash Forward dancehall riddim which featured a number of UK artists (Stylo G, Lea-Anna, Lante, etc) alongside established artists such as Capleton & Sizzla.

Wundah is currently working on projects with Brinsley Forde (Aswad), Lea-Anna, Lante, G Starr, Thai Matic & Cartz and also has 3 new riddims already prepared for release early this year which I’m certain will have the same impact as his previous releases.
