WNDR might still be unknown to the mainstream, but do not
make the mistake of associating him with your typical up-and-
coming producer. At 28 years of age the Oslo-native has
already put in a decade of work and gained a rep for himself in
the club scene of his hometown, landed Top 10 tracks in
Ireland / UK and toured heavily in Europe. He went platinum in
Norway with his debut single «Medicine» (over 4 million
streams and still counting), and was also playlisted on
Norwegian P3. He later went on to release “Human” that went
straight into NRK MP3s playlist, Higher (WNDR Remix) by
Lemaitre got playlisted on Kiss FM, played by Hardwell On
SiriusXM, and got the attention of non other then Martin Garrix
(Found in his Spotify Playlist “Martin Garrix Favorites ”)
Over the last couple of years, he has carved out his own space
filled with heavy 808 drum patterns, intuitive bass lines and
unique chord progressions. Fellow musicians and producers
hold his artisanship in high esteem, You do not have to be a
music geek to understand the emotions he is trying to
communicate, though - they have already found a dedicated
audience far beyond the Norwegian club scene.
For those who grew up with him there is no surprise WNDR
turned out to be a musician. He had spent 10.000 hours in front
of his DJ-set-up before he had turned 13. Before high school
was over, he had spent an additional 10.000 hours on music
production. Labelled a serious talent early on, he could very
well have been a household name by now, but WNDR has
stuck to his own vision, creating music solely on his own
premises.
WNDR explains, «For me, it's about communicating emotions,
connecting with people through headsets or speakers... and
those emotions have to be sincere.»
