kim-wonderWhy going into music considering how competitive the industry has become in recent times?

Music chose me really, before I chose it. My friends insisted I use my talent and took me to a studio in Kent, England for my first recording. God gave lots of us the talent. He knew what he was doing. In His eyes we are all obedient children pleasing him by using our singing talents.


What will make you different from other popular musicians?

I am Kim Wonder, with my different singing voice and musicality. I always try to have that uniqueness and originality so that I can stand out.

How long have you been doing music professionally and what are some achievements recorded?

I have been singing for four years. I recently did a media tour in Cape Town and Johannesburg, in South Africa where I shot a video ‘How you Dey’ sharing our Nigerian culture with the rest of Africa. It was well received and I got invited to the Good Morning Africa show on Africa Magic. It was number one video on the chart on PRTV on DSTV. Also Etv Africa and Star Gist on DSTV invited and granted me interviews. I was also the artiste of the week at Bozza in Cape Town some months ago.

Any live performance so far?

I have performed in different locations in London for youth events and It was fun because I and my friends were just doing it for the love of music. I have also performed live with a band at Oriental Hotel V.I, Lagos. I was one of the major artistes who performed at the Love FM Concert in Port Harcourt along side Duncan Mighty, Sunny Neji and others. Performing live is very exhilarating and refreshing for me as it enables me expresses myself better than digital performances. I always look forward to it. And as an upcoming artiste, my intension is to grow and excel beyond my dreams.

About the name ‘Kim Wonder’, are you not a Nigerian?

My name is Kimberly; I just exchanged ‘Berly’ with ‘Wonder’. Because I just acknowledged how wonderful God had created me . It was as simple as that. It only sounds foreign because I started my music career in England and the name is a blend of two English words. So, I’m a Nigerian but brought up outside Nigeria.

What does it take for you to fall in love?

A romantic and excellent spirit can make me fall in love. And before I fall in Love, my kind of man must be fine, responsible, intelligent and a committed kind of man.

Any recent project?

I just release two singles. One is titled ‘There Was a Boy’ where I featured South African rapper, Veezo, and the other titled ‘Celebrate Now’ featuring Lil Miss Miss. They are currently enjoying airplay on radio and online. I’m also working on my new video for ‘Celebrate now’.

Do you see yourself as an up & coming artiste and why?

I only see myself as a growing artiste. It just gets better. Basically,It is an honour to be able to have the opportunity to share my music with everyone that gets to hear it.

Therein lies my utmost joy.
