Journey
Growing up in a family of 12, Winifred Ohili Adanu—better known as Winny—learned early that contentment, love, and faith were more than just buzzwords; they were survival tools. Born in the buzzing city of Jos, Nigeria, and proudly hailing from Benue State, Winny soaked up the soulful rhythm of Northern Nigeria’s culture before making the big move to Lagos. While Jos taught her calmness, Lagos brought the fire, and together, they inspired her signature Afro-Reggae sound—a lush fusion of Reggae, R&B/Soul, and Afrobeat that tells a story with every note.
Her breakout hit, 'Don’t Leave,' wasn’t just a song—it was a statement. The song climbed Apple’s R&B/Soul charts in many countries, even earning a nod from heavyweights like Omah Lay. In 2023, she dropped her self-titled debut EP, a 7-track gem that topped the charts in 19 countries and cemented her status as a rising star. With tracks like "Pretty" and her sultry vocals, Winny found herself on platforms like COLORS and BBC Radio 1, and gracing Spotify’s most coveted playlists.
But Winny isn’t all business. Offstage, she’s an advocate for love, and her music isn’t just for listening; it’s for feeling.
