Emerging Faroese/American soul-pop singer Marianna Winter is one of the few female artists currently pioneering the lo-fi underground scene in the Faroe Islands with her gritty yet catchy pop melodies. Born and partly raised between California and Tórshavn, she challenges her homeland's musical and cultural status quo, adding an LA heat to the quintessential Nordic sound, thus offering a unique perspective into both cultures.
Recurring themes of love and life lessons learned embed themselves into the lyrical content of Winter’s new releases. Paired with her airy vocals and modern pop/R&B references, the songs dive deeper into a new understanding of who she is, analyzing her need to please others and her distrust in people’s intentions. Being in her early twenties has led to a lot of soul-searching and working out her past to better understand her present and set a course toward the future she wants.
Marianna made her debut festival appearance at last year’s G! Festival (FO) following a support gig in Copenhagen, at the venue RUST, and then later in August at UHØRT Festival (DK). As well as performing smaller local shows in the Faroe Islands, Winter also made her debut in the UK with a performance at The Great Escape 2023 (UK) and is officially confirmed to perform at Icelandic Airwaves 2023 as well as Trondheim Calling (NO) 2024.
All while releasing singles leading up to her debut album.
