Megan Wyn by Sam Crowston
WHO?
WHERE?
Anglesey, North Wales.
WHEN?
I’ve always sang from a very young age and have always have a fascination and passion for music. When I was 11 I trained in opera and joined a choir called Cor Ieuenctid Mon as well as a Welsh language band in school! After years of loving guitar music and playing a bit of everything here and there I decided to dedicate my time in lockdown to learning the guitar and started writing from there.
WHY?
I’ve never really questioned why I make music to be honest, it’s something I’ve always loved; I’ve always loved writing, performing and expressing myself through music. I’d say people like Stevie Nicks and PJ Harvey are massive inspirations of mine.
HOW?
I’d say that how I became a solo artist was a natural progression of my early teenage years in music. It was never really a decision I made, it just seemed to happen!
PAST?
I started playing shows around the UK the summer after doing my GCSEs, but before that I worked in a bakery every Saturday! I then went on to study at a music college and now I’m a music business student at uni.
PRESENT?
I’d describe my music as dreamy indie-pop-rock with a bit of a nostalgic feel.
FUTURE?
I have loads more songs to be released that I’m completely in love with and so excited for everyone to hear! I hope that the next few years I get to travel to more cities to play shows and play a load more festivals!
DID YOU KNOW?
I used to write all my songs in Welsh then translate them to English.
WHAT’S NEXT?
I’ve got a headline show coming up in Liverpool on November 3rd. I’m also supporting Andrew Cushin and Swim Deep before the end of the year. I’ve also just released a sophomore single called Familiar Faces which will be followed by loads of new songs in the new year.
