Wynter's hit single "Dirty Talk" [Laidback Luke Remix] is featured on DANCE MIX USA, available in stores and online now! The deluxe double CD also features Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, The Black Eyed Peas, Mariah Carey and more!
Following her show stopping performance at last weeks Hennessy Artistry
Series with Travie McCoy at SOBs, R&B rising star Wynter Gordon
sits down with Singersroom and talks her forthcoming album, fashion, her
sound and wanting to work with Nicki Minaj plus much more.
Singersroom: How did you connect with Hennessy for their Artistry series and how was the experience for you as an artist?
WG:
I believe they called my label up and asked for me to be apart of the
show. I walked here...felt warmth, felt some amazing art, some
paintings, some groups from all over hip hop, some rockers, you know
some hipsters and it was a good time.
Singersroom: Who is Wynter Gordon and what is she bringing to the genre of R&B?
WG:
Wynter is the most enthusiastic resilient girl you will ever meet.
She's a writer, she's a vocalist, she's a dancer, she's a singer, she's
pretty amazing, she's a giver, she's sweet and that's what I'm bringing
to music.
Singersroom: With the success of
fellow songwriters such as Bruno Mars and Keri Hilson, how do you feel
about the transition from songwriter to artist?
WG:
I think most songwriters actually are artists before they are
songwriters. I've worked with Bruno; he's been performing on the scene
way before people knew him as Bruno Mars. Sometimes that's the shot you
get first; that's the door that opens first. So songwriting was actually
the first door that opened for me but I always knew I wanted to
perform. Now, I'm confident in my performance. I can say that.
Keri Hilson. The Dream. Sean Garrett. The list is long with
behind-the-scenes hitmakers turned solo artists and now you can add to
that list, Wynter Gordon. After writing songs for artists such as Mary
J. Bilge and Jennifer Lopez and a guest feature on Flo Rida's hit,
"Sugar," Wynter is ready to prove that she is hot as ice. She's already
secured a dance floor hit with "Dirty Talk," as she puts the finishing
touches on her forthcoming debut album. JimmyJazz.com got down and dirty
with the rising star as she talked what it takes to show her naughty
side, dating older men, and learning that patience is the key to
success.
She's not afraid to get dirty behind closed doors:
If I had a boo and we were really close and he put a ring on it, then
yes I would talk very dirty. It would be my only job. I'm like a feline
but the only one person who gets to see that is when they put a ring on
it.
Her lyrics often come from her challenging life experiences:
Not having a dad around put me in a situation where I was dating older
dudes at a really young age and that taught me a lot of lessons. It gave
me a lot of songs and a lot of things to write about because I made my
mistakes early on. Plus my family didn't have a lot of money and things
like that. So it let me use my imagination more. That made me the crazy
weird person I am today.
She's been around the world:
I've traveled around the world since I got signed and met a lot of new
people. I've been to Egypt, Israel, London, Sweden, Beirut and Lebanon.
The guys are really handsome in Lebanon but my favorite one had to be
Beirut. It's like Miami but every single guy is hot.
