What’s the meaning of your name? The meaning of Sunday – I wanted to capture the feeling one has when one has a day off to rest, putter, contemplate, or pray (if they feel the need). So many community/family activities happen on a Sunday, which are great. Wilde – Reno Jack, my previous band mate, woke up one morning and said my last name should be Wilde. So I took it on.

Describe your nominated work: That Man of Mine Drives me mad: Every woman who has ever been in love, and has had the man drive them crazy, moans, sighs, and talks to their mother about it. I wanted to sum up the emotions that a woman would go through with loving someone that drove them crazy: anger, intensity, erotic, etc. I feel that many women can relate to the song, and as I’ve discovered, many men love the song too.
