Words matter. These are the best Wynter Gordon Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
A lot of artists get famous overseas first. I don’t know what it is here. I have a large underground following in the U.S., but I don’t get the airplay as much as I do in, say, Australia. Over there, they can play whatever they like, it seems, but not so much here.
I’d like to work with Florence and The Machine, Little Dragon, Frank Ocean, Miguel, Calvin Harris… there are so many artists and producers.
On stage, I need to be seen from the back seats. So, I dress more colorful and vibrant.
I’m not too big on accessories, but I love my basic black quartz watch from American Apparel. It’s a simple piece that goes with my vintage, thrift store chic style.
My style is cinematic; it is a touch of French woman of the ’60s and American hippie with a Brooklyn edge. I love wearing wide-brim hats, newsboy caps, mini dresses and sheer blouses with details.
I always considered myself a performer. It’s what God gave me. It doesn’t matter if one person hears it or a million.
I grew up in South Jamaica, Queens, in New York. My parents were very religious churchgoing people. They were very strict. I was never really allowed to indulge in anything vain. Modesty always. I have three brothers and two sisters, so everything was on a budget.
I bought my Grasshoppers tennis shoes at a flea market in Brooklyn. They are so comfortable to lounge around in on tour.
My style is a mashup of different eras, but each piece I have makes me feel good about myself. I do have a taste for expensive shoes.

I would love to design my own shoe line. Women suffer too much in heels. I want to design a line of sexy platform heels that don’t hurt.
Making dance music was one of the best things I did in my life. I traveled the world; I met the most amazing fans. I got a lot of respect from doing it.
When I first started, the very first body of music I made when I got signed to Atlantic were songs with titles like ‘Unify’ and ‘You’re Special.’ And there’s this song that reminds me of Meghan Trainor that I wrote, about a woman’s body and not conforming, when I first started in music.
I toured with Skrillex, did an HBO commercial with Diplo. In the hip hop movement, I was the first artist Travis Scott ever featured with before he blew up. I had the songs with Chris Brown and Tyga. I’ve worked with some of the biggest artists in the world.
My favorite song is called ‘Reachout.’ There are so many different stories told in that song. I think anyone who listens to it will gather a different meaning, but each answer is true. I also like the sound of it, period – there are a lot of classical influences.
