Wayne Gardner
WAYNE GARDNER

Age: 23

Region: London

Occupation: Producer

Stage name: Wonder


Details:
Wayne's beats are quite dark. He's built a name for himself on the underground releasing instrumentals and has recently started work with Kano who has just signed to Warners. He set up his studio in a shed next to his house.

He started DJing when he was 17 after having a go on the decks at a mate's house while he was at college in Tower Hamlets studying business. He then left his college course to start a six-week sound engineering course and started putting together beats on PlayStation.

He was part of a crew with Dizzee and Wiley, doing radio shows with them and travelling to Ayia Napa. After falling out with Wiley he left the crew and while Dizzee and Wiley went on to big success, Wayne has released various tracks off his own back but remains unsigned.

He has a radio show on Rinse FM and has just been involved in a Sidewinder mix CD with Riko. Sidewinder is one of the biggest and most respected urban garage raves in the country.

He thinks that people in the UK should collaborate more – it works in the US. His favourite vocalist is Lauryn Hill and he also likes Gemma Fox. He dreams of working with Jay Z.
