Winny is a singer from Nigeria who stands out from the crowd thanks to her distinctive voice, her bohemian style and her prolific songwriting.
As she explains in this episode, her songs draw on the highs and lows of her own love life for inspiration, and that seems to be resonating with fans.
Originally from Jos, Winny moved to Lagos with not much more than a head full of songs, but was soon noticed by helpful people in the music industry, as well as established Afrobeats artists, in large part thanks to the number of covers she had posted on social media.
