Maiah Wynne didn’t know where to start. Without any industry connections yet still wanting to make inroads as an entertainer, she searched Google for songwriting competitions. “Not the big ones that everybody’s heard of, but smaller ones,” tells the singer and songwriter, whose influences include Norah Jones and Radiohead. “And I won. I’ve done that a few times.” She also began self-releasing a small avalanche of unofficial recordings.
Those moves eventually led to becoming the lead singer for Envy of None, a side project formed by Alex Lifeson, guitarist for seminal progressive rock band Rush. The group signed with Kscope shortly before the release of their self-titled debut in 2022.
Wynne naturally began forming friendships with the label’s staff, including Kscope’s co-founder, Johnny Wilks. “We’ve met in person a couple times, and he’s such a delightful person,” declares the multi-instrumentalist, extending that quality to everyone there. “We’ve developed a relationship that feels like a nice foundation for this record deal.”
Crucially, she began working with her manager, Greg Ross, who took the initiative to pitch her as a solo artist. Wynne admits she doesn’t know if she’d have had the energy or drive to do so on her own. Focusing on her music had become too draining, making Kscope’s help all the more welcome. “I wasn’t drawn to the idea of signing to a label for a long time,” she admits, “because I like being independent. But there’s a ceiling I felt I’d reached.”
Although another company showed interest, that option failed to strike the right chord. Kscope, on the other hand, made her feel confident, even though they’ve never worked with an artist in her genre. “Their core is really the message of the music,” Wynne insists. “If they connect with it, they want to help.” And even though they’re based in the United Kingdom, distance won’t be a problem while she studies at the Abbey Road Institute.
Wynne’s forthcoming LP, Into the Waves, splashes onto shores this summer.
