Jessica Winter
Jessica Winter's introspective alt-pop artfully blends truth and artifice in club-friendly creations. Her first EPs, Sad Music (2020) and More Sad Music (2021), set gloomy lyrics to theatrical melodies and uplifting grooves. She garnered over a million streams for 2022's "I lost my mind," a collaboration with fellow Englanders Metronomy. Winter made her Lucky Number label debut with the next year's Limerence EP and continued to draw from glistening synth pop, pulsing dance tropes, indie rock, and haunted, David Lynch-ian settings on 2025's My First Album.Winter grew up in Hayling Island, just east of Portsmouth, off the south coast of England. Her mother was a fashion model, and one of her uncles played in a punk band, while another was an artist; punk rock and musical theater were both early interests of hers. Born with hip dysplasia, she was in and out of the hospital for surgeries from the time she was a baby, and a piano stool proved to be a place she could sit adequately with her brace, even before she could crawl. The piano went on to become her primary instrument. Winter wrote her first song at the age of 16 and knew then that she wanted to do it for a living. Still 16, she moved to Brixton, South London, cycled through some managers, and went on to play in a variety of bands. Her best-known collaboration was an early duo version of PREGOBLIN with Alex Sebley. Winter also wrote and produced for others, with a résumé that includes the likes of Jazmin Bean, Walt Disco, and Lauren Auder. In the late 2010s, she converted a garden shed into a home studio and committed to writing solely for herself. Solo singles such as "Sleep Forever" and "Sad Music" began appearing in 2019.Her debut EP, Sad Music, arrived on Roya in May of 2020 sporting a fully formed, dance-oriented alt-pop with sinuous melodies, grooving basslines, electronic beats, and song titles like "Chasing Nightmares" and "World on Fire." More Sad Music followed on Roya in October 2021. Winter teamed up with Madge for mid-2022's "PSYCHOPOMP," and that November, the Metronomy collaboration "I lost my mind" was released. It appeared on a special edition of the band's Small World album. Meanwhile, Winter penned the score for two seasons of the children's series Princess Mirror-Belle.She signed with Lucky Number Music for the release of her third EP, February 2023's Limerence. The Amazon Prime Video thriller series Dead Hot premiered in early 2024 with Winter as composer before she presented singles like "L.O.V.E." and "All I Really Wanted" in early 2025 from her full-length debut. The complete My First Album arrived on Lucky Number that July. Although primarily self-produced, it included additional and co-production by Clarence Clarity, Tim Randolph, Dante and Gamaliel Traynor, and others.
