Presenter: WondaGurl is a GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum music producer and one of the most influential forces in modern music. Hailing from Toronto, she began producing at just 9 years old and rose to prominence as a teenager when she landed a placement on Jay-Z’s Magna Carta Holy Grail. Since then, she’s worked with some of the world’s biggest artists, including Travis Scott, Drake, Kanye West, Rihanna, Lil Uzi Vert, and Don Toliver.

Known for her signature hard-hitting drums, dark textures, and genre-blending production style, WondaGurl has not only broken barriers in a male-dominated industry but has also paved the way for the next generation of producers. In 2021, she became one of the youngest women and one of the first Black women to sign a global publishing deal with Sony/ATV as a producer and executive.

Today, she continues to shape the sound of contemporary hip-hop, trap, and R&B while building a legacy that transcends music. Her impact can be heard across charts and cultures, and her story continues to inspire creatives worldwide.
