Winksy
About the Artist
Winksy’s infatuation with music is more than mere admiration; it's a voracious obsession that ignites their creative spirit. Drawing inspiration from a diverse array of artists, including the nostalgia-soaked melodies of The Beatles, The Velvet Underground, Harry Nilsson, The Kinks and the contemporary artistry of Cut Worms and Foxygen. Winksy weaves a musical tapestry that speaks to the human experience. Winksy's musical style combines the influence of their 60's pop/rock idols with a unique touch of their own, creating a timeless quality that could be described, in its essence, as pop essentialism mixed with vintage revivalism.
Willem Kingma and Kelli Blackmore, the dynamic duo behind Winksy, channel their boundless inspiration into creating a distinctive brand of music known for its idiosyncratic lyrics and intricate narratives. Their songs are a captivating exploration of the human experience, delving into themes of love, longing, joy, and introspection, all while embracing the ever-evolving nature of contemporary life and a hatred of sports.
