This Alison didn't fall down anything; she jumped head first down the rabbit hole and landed straight on the decks. Armed with turntables, a killer vibe and an open mind, Alison turns countless dance floors across Australia into your favourite kind of Wonderland: more beats, less croquet.
Beginning with a background in indie and classical, Wonderland's best card is her eclecticism. Throughout her youth she toured Europe as a principal cellist for the Sydney Youth Orchestra and later played bass in a successful local indie band.
After inking a global deal with EMI, Wonderland released her debut compilation record - "Welcome To Wonderland" mid 2012, while her much anticipated first original's album is due out very soon! If the success of her remixes is anything to go by the record is set to be a game changer.
Wonderland has performed in LA at the official Grammy's Afterparty, all throughout Ibiza on top of MOS and the Brit Awards Afterparty in London. In Australia she has torn up main stages at Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival, Southbound Festival, Stereosonic, Field Day, Parklife (nationally), Good Vibrations Festival, Harbourlife, Sydney Fashion Week, Future Music Festival, Coaster Festival, Secret Garden Festival and more, not to mention her sellout headline national tours.
The end of 2012 saw Wonderland taking the highly prestigious summer festival time slots. Playing main stage at Falls Festival in a headline slot after Hot Chip to a capacity crowd, Supporting PNAU Live at Wonderland Festival in Perth & again destroying the headline time slot after SBTRKT to a heaving tent at Southbound Festival this all within 1 WEEK!
Wonderland is the party, rumour has it she never sleeps and is reasonably good friends with Oprah.
Easy

Can I paint a picture of the world that I see instead?
And I know it's bullshit they say I'm not really that bad
But I think too much and I'm scared I'm never coming back, yeah
Walked into the bathroom just so I could cry
Wish I knew why, wish I knew why
Oh, baby, why don't you find someone easy?
I know you're reaching out but I push you away
Maybe 'cause I'm vain, maybe 'cause I'm vain
Oh, baby, why don't you find someone easy?
Baby, why don't you find someone easy? (easy)
Easy
Baby, why don't you find someone easy? (easy)
Take some more pills, try to crack a smile
Thinking back to weekends that felt good
Yeah, it's been a while
But I try to scrape through and keep my head above the clouds
'Cause I know myself and I know this isn't who I am, yeah
Walked into the bathroom just so I could cry
Wish I knew why, wish I knew why
Oh, baby, why don't you find someone easy?
Baby, why don't you find someone easy?
I know you're reaching out but I push you away
Maybe 'cause I'm vain, maybe 'cause I'm vain
Oh, baby, why don't you find someone easy?
Baby, why don't you find someone easy? (easy)
Easy
Baby, why don't you find someone easy?
Walked into the bathroom just so I could cry
Wish I knew why, wish I knew why
Oh, baby, why don't you find someone easy?
Baby, why don't you find someone easy?
I know you're reaching out but I push you away
Maybe 'cause I'm vain, maybe 'cause I'm vain
Oh, baby, why don't you find someone easy?
Baby, why don't you find someone easy?
Easy
Baby, why don't you find someone easy? (easy)
Easy
Baby, why don't you find someone easy?
The lyrics of Alison Wonderland's song "Easy" explore the challenges of mental health and self-doubt in a relationship. The first lines "Time feels slower inside of my head, Can I paint a picture of the world that I see instead?" describe a moment of feeling trapped in one's own thoughts and wanting to escape to a different reality. The singer acknowledges that others might think that she is not so bad, but she is consumed by her own negative inner dialogue.
The chorus "Oh, baby, why don't you find someone easy? Baby, why don't you find someone easy? I know you're reaching out but I push you away, Maybe 'cause I'm vain, maybe 'cause I'm vain" reveals that the singer is struggling to accept love and support from her partner. She feels guilty for being difficult and pushing away someone who loves her. The lyric "Take some more pills, try to crack a smile" alludes to the use of medication to cope with mental health issues.
The bridge "Thinking back to weekends that felt good, Yeah, it's been a while, But I try to scrape through and keep my head above the clouds, 'Cause I know myself and I know this isn't who I am, yeah" highlights the struggle to hold on to happier times and trying to stay positive despite feeling overwhelmed. The repetition of "Easy, baby why don't you find someone easy?" at the end is an emotional plea for someone to love and accept the singer as she is.
