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. 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. After several Art Exhibitions and a stint at Performance College Wensdy began to write and produce her own style of music. 2010 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. "GONNA GET IT" was written by Wensdy over a 2-week period for the 2010 South African World Cup 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. Wensdy was also interviewed by Shaakirah De Vries to be featured in the October edition of the South African 17 Magazine Wensdy often collaborates with American Rappers and did so in "GONNA GET IT" 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. Sources Living people 21st-century Scottish
