Influenced by artists like Lupe Fiasco, Eminem, and Jay Z, Wynne found solace and self-expression through hip hop, which became her true companion and voice.
Wynne's journey into the spotlight began in 2017 when a video of her freestyling over 21 Savage's "Bank Account" instrumental went viral on social media, garnering immense attention with over 35,000 retweets. However, instead of immediately capitalizing on her newfound fame, she chose to prioritize her education, focusing on finishing school at the University of Oregon.
Now, with a renewed sense of confidence and a clear vision for her music, Wynne aims to establish herself as a mainstream artist. Alongside her partner Ty, she has invested time in artist development, honing her strengths and sharpening her weaknesses. One area she identified was her voice, where she initially tried to emulate the low and aggressive tones of the male artists who inspired her. However, she embraced her own unique style, leaning into her soft, sultry voice as a grown woman.
Wynne's first project, "If I May..," was a remarkable success, featuring collaborations with established artists like JID and Mahalia. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, she managed to secure a spot on tour with EarthGang in 2020, further solidifying her rising status in the industry.
Recently, Wynne released her new single, "Jaw Morant," which showcases a more playful side of her authentic self. Describing it as a club banger, she wanted to create music that people could enjoy at parties or while hanging out with friends. With infectious flow and captivating lyrics, Wynne continues to prove her prowess as an artist.
