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.
U Don't Know

Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Don't lose; you better than yourself
Tryna tell me all these faking sounds
I see what it really is
Honest words will never fix
I know what it's like to be alone
No need to keep me in the dark
Already been, I felt that spark
You don't know how it is
For someone else to own you
Someone else to throw you, harder
You need them anyway, I got it
Don't make your own delay, you got it
Look at me standing straight, I'm on it
(Baby, I don't know)
For me to find my way, I get it
You need them anyway, I got it
(Baby, I don't know)
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Friends that never come will never go
Swimming through the deep and let it show
Red flag, don't wait; I know, your fate
All the highs but it's never enough
Where were you when I was doing tow
Leave me your phone, all that I know
What am I so? Know that I go
You don't know how it is
For someone else to own you
Someone else to throw you, harder
You don't know how it is
For someone else to own you
Someone else to throw you, harder
You need them anyway, I got it (You)
Don't make your own delay, you got it (Know how)
Look at me standing straight, I'm on it (You)
(Baby, I don't know)
For me to find my way, I get it
You need them anyway, I got it
(Baby, I don't know)
You don't know how it is
(Baby, I don't know)
You don't know
You don't know (Baby I don't know)
You don't know how it is
For someone else to own you
Someone else to throw you, harder
You don't know how it is
For someone else to own you
Someone else to throw you farther out
