Mark Andrew Thompson, and for 'performing vibrations', 'Mark Wonder', is a man with a positive purpose. This very roots performer grew up with his mom who always had music playing in the home.

Mark Wonder, who takes his name from his greatest musical inspiration, Stevie Wonder, grew up in Kingston. At the age of 5, he moved from Kingston to Manchester, where he resided for 7 years. He moved back to Kingston at the age of 12.

The early stages of his musical career saw him doing a cover version of 'Ain't That Loving You' with Miguel Collins aka Sizzla Kalonji, and 'Equal Rights' by The Heptones in the early 90's. His first album was released by a Holland based recording company (now defunct) called Zolan Zola. The big hit and title track 'Signs of The Times', 'Lead The Way Jah' and 'Let Me Not Be Ashamed' were the three singles released from that album. To date, he has 6 albums and has released several singles.

Mark Wonder takes the inspiration for his songs, which are all original, from everyday life, social commentary and his beliefs as a Rastafarian. Although currently signed to Soundproof Records, he is working on several singles and an album, which will come out late April of early May. A new company will release the album, which has been dubbed 'Battle Axe', produced by him. His next major performance will be at the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival in Boonville, California on June 22 - 24.

Mark Wonder's new album 'Break The Ice' is produced by Sound Proof Productions and is released by Redbridge Music from the UK and distributed through Jet Star and Pinnacle. 'Roots' is a fitting word to describe this 17 track album featuring the likes of Gentleman, Anthony B, Daddy Rings, Taffari and Skatta. Producers who contributed to this project include Special Delivery Music, AL.TA.FA.AN, Addis Records, Trinity Records and Acoustic Vibes, the label that he co-produce with his colleague Christopher Briggs. His latest single 'Rainbow Child (Raggy Joe) is being heavily rotated on television and radio. You can expect much greater things from Mark Wonder as he spreads his positive messages through his music.
