Everyone is talking about Ebony Oshunrinde aka WondaGurl who produced Jay-Z’s cocky album track, “Crown.”

Well why not, the 16-year-old is among the big name collaborators on Jay-Z’s “Magna Carta Holy Grail” and her life has changed forever.

“Just people calling me, texting me and tweeting me all the time. My phone was just blowing up,” she said in an interview.

The Canadian born producer claims she’s been working on music and creating beats since she was nine-years-old.

According to reports, WondaGurl caught the attention of superstar producer and Drake’s friend, Boi 1da, who took her under his wing and helped her win the 2012 Battle of the Beatmakers competition.

That was her first major recognition and has worked on tracks for SonReal & Rich Kidd, Ryan Leslie, and got a big placement on a Travi$ Scott track called “Uptown.”

The fame is not getting to her head though, thanks to her parents who have insisted the 11th grade graduate completes her high-school studies before she makes any really big plans.

“I have to focus on school because if I don’t my mom takes my computer away.”

“Magna Carta Holy Grail” was released July 4, through a special promotion, to millions of Samsung Galaxy phone owners for free and its official released is tomorrow Sunday, July 7.

The Huffington Post reports:

It was her work on “Uptown” that caught Hov’s ear and he snapped up the hazy, loping trap beat that WondaGurl programmed for “Crown,” which sits alongside production by Scott, The-Dream, Boi 1da, Pharell Williams, Hit-Boy, Mike WiLL, and her first hero, Timbaland, among others.

“I made a beat and sent it to Travi$ Scott and he said he was gonna do some stuff with it,” Oshunrinde recalls. “A few days later he texted me and said he was about to change my life but he wouldn’t tell me what he was talking about. Then he called me and told me I was officially on Jay-Z’s album.”

Oshunrinde says that, as a fan of Jay-Z and the people involved on the record, the placement means a lot to her. She had no real intention when making the beat; she had a sample for Sizzla’s “Solid As A Rock” and applied it to her aesthetic, which she describes as “trap/hip-hop-type beats but, like, hard.”

“A lot of people are making trap and it’s,like a little bit of that with real hip-hop mixed into one beat,” she elaborates.

Has she spent much time listening to the much-discussed production on “Yeezus” by Kanye West? Does she look up to him, as an artist and producer?

“It’s really different; I like it though,” she says. “As a producer yes, but not so much as an artist. I want to work with him, though,” WondaGurl catches herself.

All of this stems from a childhood spent watching YouTube videos of Timbaland working in the studio. In fact, Oshunrinde says her entire musical education derives from watching YouTube and just trying things out on keyboards and computers supplied by her aunt and other family members, who have been very supportive of her dreams (“I want to win a Grammy,” she says in a matter-of-fact way).
