There are several artists named Wonder:
1. Tanner Hansen, better known by his stage name Wonder, is an American teenage rapper. Wonder works with hip-hop.
2. Wonder is a dream pop band founded in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands, in 2012. The band comprises singer-songwriter Marije de Vries, producer/guitar player Patrick Schaafstal, bassist Bart Hooghiemstra, drummer Pandu Windartono, keyboardist Michiel de Koning, and background singer Masha Schenkel. Inspirations are bands like Beach House, Radiohead, Feist, and Fleetwood Mac. The band will release their first LP in the spring or summer of 2014.
3. Wonder, AKA DJ Wonder, is a UK Grime DJ and producer and a former member of Roll Deep. In 2001, while attending a business course, one of Wonder’s lessons was canceled. Bored, he went around to a DJ friend’s house and started dabbling on the decks. Nine hours later, his DJ career began. Wonder soon abandoned aspirations towards a business career and studied music technology instead. He soon hooked up with future Roll Deep members Wiley and Danny Weed. Within months of starting his new career, Wonder landed himself an early morning slot on Rinse 100.3 FM with another future Roll Deep member, Dizzee Rascal.
After performing solo and collaborating with Wiley, Wonder went to Ayia Napa in 2002 to DJ at events like Sun City. When he returned, he moved to the 7 p.m. slot on Rinse FM and became a founding member of Roll Deep. In 2003, Wonder left Roll Deep to pursue a solo career. While still DJing, he began producing and worked with Geenus and the Static Media Camp. His first release sold over a thousand units, establishing him as a producer. However, it wasn't until his third release in 2004, "What," on Dumpvalve Records, that he truly established himself as a successful producer. "What" sold 3,500 copies and was picked up by Mercury Award winner Dizzee Rascal as a backing track for his second album, Showtime, specifically for the song "Respect Me."
After the success of this collaboration, Wonder embarked on a European and American tour as Dizzee’s DJ, supporting The Streets in 2005 and also Dizzee’s 2005 Showtime tour, the latter of which visited 25 states. Wonder still DJs on Rinse FM and at events such as Live and Forward at Plastic People. His production skills are in demand by some of the biggest UK artists, such as Kano, Sway, and Lethal B. Wonder has also remixed tracks for Mr. Hudson, the Prodigy, SLK, and Lady Sovereign. He released his debut album in December 2006, titled "Welcome to Wonderland."
