It almost sounds like a modern fairy tale: Two people meet by chance, fall in love, make music together without much of a plan, upload their songs to Soundcloud on the side – and become one of the most sought-after bands of the year overnight. This is exactly how the extraordinary career of British alt-pop duo Oh Wonder began in 2015. Since then, they have been delighting fans all over the world for ten years now.
This success story began in London. Anthony West and Josephine Vander Gucht were both already making music independently of each other. Josephine had just completed her classical piano and violin training and had written her first songs, while Anthony was making a name for himself as a producer. When the two met, a special magic was immediately felt – between them, their voices and their songs. From that moment on, a special experiment began: every month they wrote, produced and released a new song.
They achieved hundreds of thousands of clicks with their very first tracks, and fans around the world waited eagerly for each new upload. Their electronic pop ballads, characterised by synthesizers and the pair’s harmonious vocals, immediately captivated listeners. This extraordinary project culminated in their self-titled deb ut album »Oh Wonder«, which was released in 2015 and went straight into the top 30 of the British album charts – the start of an international career.
