Based in Missouri, WILDER debuted 2 records via LA based New Renaissance Entertainment, co-managed by Wendy Dio*, in 34 countries in 1990. After a solid international debut, Seattle Grunge caused a shift in AOR music with Hard Rock/Metal bands suffering the most, relegating them to Indy labels, smaller venues, and limited ability to reach new fans. NRE went bankrupt in '93, but WILDER continues to produce albums & music videos — active for 40+ years with 12+ albums, 14+ music videos, two film soundtracks and a 9CD box set.
