About Megan Winsor
If Maggie Rogers and Hayley Williams had a lovechild, you’d get Megan Winsor—an artist and songwriter straight from the SoCal sand, whose voice and songwriting demand attention. With influences from Lorde, Ben Howard, Taylor Swift, Fletcher, and The Lumineers, Megan blends catchy melodies, thought-provoking lyrics, and a unique pop/rock sound that’s impossible to ignore.
Megan’s journey began at 13, performing for hours in bars and restaurants for tourists, driven by one simple goal: to be heard. Over time, live music became her lifeblood. From Los Angeles to London, she’s built her fanbase one show at a time, playing legendary venues like Hotel Café, The Viper Room, Abbey Road Studios, and Adults Only. Her 2022 independent release 11 marked a pivotal moment in her career. The album, a perfect mix of pop, rock, and folk, features songs that combine humor and confidence, offering a refreshing perspective on breaking free from toxic mindsets. With 11, Megan solidified herself as a bold, relatable voice in modern songwriting. On June 21st, 2024, Megan released INTERMISSION, a deeply personal album that captures a transitional period in her life. The collection explores the uncertainty of life’s pauses, with songs like “Cruel,” which reflects on the confusion of youth, and “90s Van,” a nostalgic anthem celebrating freedom. Tracks like “You Ruined My Favorite Bar” highlight Megan’s gift for turning personal stories into relatable, unforgettable music. With over 1 million streams across platforms, a social media reach of 100K+, and a fast growing number monthly listeners on Spotify, Megan’s music resonates with a global audience. Her dynamic performances have captivated fans around the world, with over 100 live shows in the past year alone. In addition to her own artistry, Megan has become a sought-after songwriter in Los Angeles and Nashville, writing across genres including pop, folk, EDM, and country. A mentee in Stargate’s prestigious LAAMP program (2024-2025), Megan is refining her craft under the mentorship of Grammy-winning producers and A&R executive Chris Anokute (Katy Perry, Rihanna). She’s also making waves in the film and TV industry as a signed sync artist with Silo Music Group. A proud graduate of the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music, Megan continues to thrive as a performer and songwriter in the LA area. Her new album, INTERMISSION, speaks to anyone navigating their own personal transition, and her artistry continues to evolve in ways that resonate on a deeply personal level. Beyond her music, Megan is dedicated to empowering independent artists. As a guest speaker at Grammy Camp, she shares valuable industry insights, and she authored the handbook No Label, No Team, No Problem, which helps independent musicians navigate the ever-changing music landscape. Megan’s momentum continues to grow, with Live Nation’s Music Forward Foundation naming her Artist of the Month (August 2024), a sponsorship from Gibson Guitars for her 2024 acoustic tour, and recognition as a semi-finalist in multiple songwriting competitions, including Unsigned Only (2022, 2024) and ISC (2022). Described as "today’s Joni Mitchell," Megan brings a timeless, modern flair to her introspective storytelling and genre-blending sound. With 20+ releases scheduled for 2025-2026, Megan Winsor is just getting started. Stick around—she’s an artist on the rise, and you won’t want to miss what’s next. |
