Description
Born Mark Andrew Thompson in Kingston, Jamaica, Mark Wonder is truly a Jamaican wonder. His powerful and infectious vocal delivery and master song crafting cannot be disputed.
One can simply not resist singing or rocking to his quality creations which have a universal appeal whether he is praising the Almighty, chanting revolutionary songs laced with social commentary, or keeping the fire of the ancient ones ablaze.
His joyful expressions and contagious love songs are also exemplary of the breathtaking quality and range of this amazing and gifted singer. He was greatly influenced by great artists such as Curtis Mayfield & the Impressions, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Miriam Makeba, Ella Fitzgerald and Stevie Wonder, from whom he has adopted the name "Wonder".
He was also influenced by his own Jamaican legends such as Burning Spear, the Wailers, Bob Andy, Black Uhuru, Barrington Levy, Marcia Griffiths, Beres Hammond, the Abyssinians, Israel Vibration, and Dennis Brown. After honing his craft in and around some of the small sounds within his and neighboring communities, he began to work with top sound systems. After a brief stint with Black Stars he moved on to Black Scorpio, who eventually launched his recording career.
Mark's first single was called "Caution", then came a slew of other releases and then his odyssey began. He has grown tremendously over the years, creating a unique style of his own and unleashing numerous powerful singles, and is now considered to be one of the top roots vocalists.
Mark has recorded several albums to date which include "Signs of the Times", "Jeremiah", "Break the Ice", "Live at the Couple", "Victory: The Mystery Unfolds" which was released on his own imprint Battle-Axe Muzik Production, and "True Stories of Mark Wonder and Friends" – an album consisting of collaborations with many reggae greats including Sizzla, Gentleman, Luciano, Capleton and many more.
