About

Hailing from Queens New York, GIRL WUNDER (Jessica Wu) brings a fresh style to the electronic music scene. She nods to both the old and new school crowd, and enjoys bringing sounds across multiple genres to give something to everyone on the dancefloor. Her ability to generate special and memorable performances is what makes her a coveted new artist in the music industry.

Girl Wunder began as a radio DJ on 93.5 KNCE True Taos Radio and then later on RadioFreeBrooklyn and HalfMoonBK with own weekly show late night show called "Virtual Voyager" and "Glitch Mode." She has had guest mixes for notable groups: Foundation.FM (London), TribeSound (S.Africa), Tantra Thursdays (Santa Fe), UKO Radio (Albuquerque), Sub.Sequence KUNM, Denver House Music's Mix Wednesdays, and Synaesthesia Collective (San Francisco). Since DJing outside of radio, Girl Wunder has had the honor of playing in 9 different states throughout the US. Girl Wunder enjoys traveling to perform and seeks to collaborate alongside various collectives, with the goal of building a network of artists to create magical experiences for people to gather through music and art. However,  as of 2024, she has been taking on only select gigs to focus on producing her first EP.

Originally brought up in classical music at the age of 4 on piano, and then flute at age 11, Girl Wunder has always been an avid musician. She had reached notable achievements at a young age, placing in both the competitive New York State All-County and All-State Orchestras. She has had the privilege of performing at renowned Carnegie Hall 4 years in a row by the age of 17 on flute.

Meanwhile, Girl Wunder's introduction into electronic music began with her sister who was a promoter for many legendary clubs such as Webster Hall, Pascha NYC, Tunnel and Club Exit, and a prominent influencer amongst the asian bboy/bgirl raver crews. Girl Wunder's early collection of digital music began as her sister would bring home tracks and exclusive recordings from the DJs at those parties. Her discovery of Miss Kittin, Green Velvet, Acid Girl, Prodigy, Fatboy Slim and other influential artists of the time opened her mind to a new world of possibility with music as house music and the genre of techno was making a head in NYC. Today, as a DJ with an ear for complex melodies through her classical training, a love for acoustic instrumentation, and an early exposure to 90s rave culture, Girl Wunder attempts to combine elements of all her experiences within the selections in her mixes.
 

Girl Wunder is a major advocate of consent and safety in nightlife. She is trained to administer Narcan and often volunteers as a harm reduction supporter with SafeRaveNYC. In the default world, Girl Wunder works for a non-profit offering therapeutic support groups for survivors of Gender Based Violence.  She is also on the road to completing a Masters in Mental Health Counseling at NYU with the intention to specialize one day as a Psychedelic Integration Therapist for survivors of Sexual Assault. She also hopes to create music for their healing process.
