About Megan Winsor
|
Megan Winsor is a Nashville-based singer/songwriter and producer from Southern California who blends timeless storytelling with a modern edge. With three albums released and her fourth on the horizon, she’s brought her music to iconic stages including The Troubadour, Abbey Road Studios, Hotel Café, The Moroccan Lounge, and the Marcus King Family Reunion Festival.
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 Troubadour, The Moroccan Lounge, The Viper Room, Abbey Road Studios, and Adults Only. Her 2024 album INTERMISSION marked a pivotal period of post-college uncertainty, exploring themes of self-discovery, nostalgia, and the highs and lows of youth. Tracks like “Cruel” and “90s Van” turn personal stories into relatable anthems, while songs like “You Ruined My Favorite Bar” showcase her witty, conversational side. Megan is now preparing THE PHOENIX AND THE RED DAWN, set for late 2026—a project about hitting rock bottom and rising anew, continuing her tradition of honesty and transformation in songwriting. 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 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. |
"Winsor’s music is rich and filled with bright harmonies and buoyant melodies—she's previously been likened to Maggie Rogers and Hayley Williams, and for good reason."
