Wynona have firmly stamped their sound as one of authenticity, relevance, and nostalgic maturity

Floral, fluid alt-pop with a late 90s feel, Wynona seems to re-frame those nostalgic impulses as something vivid, honest, and true

Biography
Following the release of several singles
over the past couple of years, Wynona will return with
a debut EP release this summer.
The second single ‘Sunday Girl’ is an
acoustic-driven pop-rock anthem inspired by the
duo's love of The Cranberries. Produced by Theo Verney
(English Teacher, Lime Garden), the song is a rejection
of predetermined gender roles and a cutting of the
'apron strings' that tie down women and their
expected contribution to a romantic partnership.
Wynona started life in Japan where partners
Natalie & Rich began their sonic journeys, creating
expressive, guitar-driven pop at their home studio in central Osaka; finding comfort and a sense of homeliness in their creative output as they began to feel isolated and homesick alone in a foreign country.
Upon their return to the UK, Wynona made their breakthrough to tips from an array of tastemaker titles including The Line of Best Fit, Dork, Clash and Notion, as well as being handpicked for Featured Next Wave on Future Artists by Jack Saunders, with follow-up support from Gemma Bradley.
