Oh Wonder is a London-based writing duo comprised of Anthony West and Josephine Vander Gucht.
The duo originally came to light under the name “Wonder Wonder” which they changed after posting two songs on their Soundcloud page. A band with a similar name suggested that they change their name, but the two insisted on keeping their favorite word “wonder” as a part of their stage name.
Josephine and Anthony first met in 2011. Coming together was natural — at the time, Josephine had been pursuing a solo project and Anthony was wrapped up in former alternative rock band Futures‘ world. The duo’s songwriting kicked off soon after, and for several years they wrote songs for fun. In the midst of a trip to Amsterdam together, they conceived the idea for their collaborate project inspired by James Blake and Sigur Rós.
