Wensdy

Born in Lenzie, Scotland her parents divorced when Wensdy was just 2 years of age.

Wensdy began developing musical interest early in her life. She began singing at the age of four years.[4] At age four, Wensdy attended dance classes and would often stand on chairs and sing and dance at home. Her enthusiasm for music and art was not entirely understood because her family was very serious and believed in working class ethic.

However Wensdy would continue to write songs and poems for her family and friends on into adulthood. She listened to artists like Michael Jackson and Handel and sing and dance at her grandmothers house regularly, singing anything from "Beat It", "(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?", "I Think We're Alone Now" for her aunts and uncles.

In addition to this Wensdy would go to her fathers house most weekends and there she would spend the entire Friday evening in his music studio.

Wensdy’s father was a business man but he had aspirations of being a performer when he was in his 20s. He would host Friday night jam sessions for his friends. Wensdy explains that this was a time when she was very happy and sometimes she could even get up and sing in the studio which she found really exciting.[4]

Around the age of 15 Wensdy’s mother parted from her live-in partner and this was set to greatly affect Wensdy’s life. Her mother took to drinking heavily and by the age of 16 Wensdy was thrown out into the streets of Glasgow without even a pair of shoes.

This was a turning point as Wensdy could yet again focus on her music and art and she shortly after pursued a Portfolio preparation course and got accepted into Glasgow School of Art. Here she was to meet many great friends however she did not complete the course as she felt it lacked real direction. She had great drive and ambition to succeed and felt that Art School was not bringing all of her dreams into reality.[5]

After several Art Exhibitions[8] and a stint at Performance College Wensdy began to write and produce her own style of music.

Wensdy's debut single as a solo artist was "The Puppet" which has received positive feedback.

"The Puppet" was originally titled "The Big Game" and was written over an eight-month period and re-written and re-titled approaching the UK 2010 general election.[9]

"GONNA GET IT" was written by Wensdy over a 2-week period for the 2010 South African World Cup[5] and was released on 11 June. The song was played in South Africa on a number of stations including a live interview on Radio West Coast with Achmat George. At the climax of the World Cup "GONNA GET IT" was played on Ukhozi FM which has an estimated listener ship of 6.67 million.[10] Wensdy was also interviewed by Shaakirah De Vries[11] to be featured in the October edition of the South African 17 Magazine [1][12]

Wensdy often collaborates with American Rappers and did so in "GONNA GET IT"[2] and MyB.O.D.Y.

Wensdy describes her music as having a great influence from her earlier life and the desire to make people happy. Wensdy is aiming to release two mini albums this year, the first of which is set to be released in September and the second shortly after.

Wensdy is currently planning a UK tour utilizing art, music, dance and fashion.[5]
