Joseph Yusuf Jimoh aka Wonder J.
EARLY YEARS Joseph Yusuf Jimoh was born in Sapele on the 28th of February 1989 at the then Nene Hospital and lived in Sapele for the most part of his life. Born to a poor family background, Yusuf did not enjoy the niceties that comes with childhood but was faced with the hardest parts of life from a very young age mostly in relation to his polygamous father with numerous wives. His father Jimoh Oghotue is originally from Auchi, Etsako Local government in Edo state and he met his mum, Comfort Adijatu who is an Urhobo muslim then in Sapele. At the tender age of 7 years Yusuf lost his dear mother and this plunged him into more hardship as he had to live with his aunt (his mother's sister) for a few years, he got to know of his father's death two (2) years later and was officially an orphan from the age of 9; from there his grass to Grace story began. Having no kindergarten or primary education, Yusuf was forced to start fending for himelf from 9 years of age when his aunt threw him out to the streets because she could not even afford to feed her three (3) children talk more of adding Yusuf to the fray. The life of a truckpusher began for Yusuf as he worked fervently in the market helping people move their goods from one point to the other for pocket change; this is what he gathers to feed once a day not knowing where the next meal is going to come from. He also was involved in other menial jobs like bus conductor, labourer in uncompleted sites moulding, carrying blocks and mixing cement for the builders, carrying woods from one sawmill to the other in the famous Asaboro and Oguanjah area in sapele of Delta state Nigeria.

MUSICAL BACKGROUND With no formal education and no parents to guide and mould him, Yusuf Jimoh learnt how to survive the hard way in the streets. Built from years of hardship experience he began to observe and be friends to those of his peers who went to schol, had parents and he learnt a lot from them. With no place to stay and nowhere to call home, Yusuf lived from store sheds to sawmills, squatting in different friends's houses until they got tired of him and sent him out. He learnt how to play football on the streets and having no parents to call him back home, he had the ample time to play extensively thereby making him a very good player who could even slug it out with older players on the field. In all these times Yusuf had a golden voice that melts the hearts of those who heard him sing. Sometimes during football training breaks Yusuf will thrill his team mates with old songs and everyone will join in dancing and clapping, even his football coach playfully told him that if football doesnt work for him, he should try music. Many years later he would meet a distant relative who told him that when he was a child, all he did was hit on stuff and keep singing to himself, he was never a bother to his late mother unlike kids in those days. Yusuf Jimoh is gifted with music, from a young age he has showing brilliant signs of music even without an education, he managed to learn how to read and write from listening to others, watching how they speak and observing them as they write it down. In his early years he teamed up with a dancer and they were called "Saffi Bomb" but later changed his stage name to Wonder J which he answers till date. Wonder J has had many hits in the musical scene since 2008 one of which is his renouned song titled "Baba God abeg", Mighty, Taking Over just to mention but a few. His last EP titled "The Rebirth of Wonder J" sent shockwaves throughout the musical industry and he just released a nee single titled "Gimme Love" which is available on all streaming platforms. Wonder J is currently signed with Deotaj Hi Star Records since 2021 of which he is also a part owner. Prince KaySam (talk) 09:39, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
