Early life and career Capital

Ebony Naomi Oshunrinde was born on December 28, 1996[4] at the Birchmount Hospital in Scarborough,
Ontario, Canada, to Jozie Oshunrinde.[5][6] She lived with her mother in North York and Mississauga before
eventually setting in Brampton.[7] WondaGurl started producing on her keyboard with drum pads at age 9. At
age 15, she entered the 2011 and 2012 Battle of The Beat Makers competition in Toronto, Ontario, where
Canadian record producer Boi-1da was present as one of the guest judges at both years. She won first place in
the latter year, earning herself a trophy and a Roland SH-01 Gaia synthesizer.[8]

WondaGurl became a protégé of Boi-1da shortly after the competition, and around 2013, started to closely
work with American rapper Travis Scott at 16 years old, whom she also signed to years later. She also
garnered one of her first high-profile music placements that same year, with rapper Jay-Z on his twelfth studio
album Magna Carta Holy Grail, working on the track "Crown" with Travis and record producer Mike
Dean.[6] This led to her working with other major artists and producers since then, producing her first Top 40
hit single "Antidote" by Travis Scott in 2015, which was co-produced by Canadian record producer
Eestbound. She would soon after go on to sign Eestbound to a production deal at the time, becoming her first
co-producer.[9] His deal with her later ended around 2016, leaving them to go their separate ways.[10]

In 2018, she was featured in the Music category of Forbes 30 Under 30.[11] She is one of the youngest women
to add production to a platinum-selling hip hop album.[12]

In July 2020, WondaGurl signed a worldwide publishing deal with Travis Scott's Cactus Jack Publishing and
Sony/ATV Music Publishing, in conjunction with her own record label and publishing company, Wonderchild
Music.[13]
