Late show with Wynne and Greaterkind

Fri, Sep 19

TICKETS $15 | 21+ PLEASE In this unprecedented concert, Portland rapper Wynne is joining forces with some of the city's most talented musicians to perform six shows across town at the end of September. Backed by Greaterkind, one of Portland’s premier jazz bands, Wynne will perform innovative musical arrangements of fan-favorites from her catalog. This show at The 1905 will feature an opening set by Mal London, an emerging R&B artist with a genre-bending style and a rich musical background. Wynne will deliver a unique performance, bringing together her high-energy lyrical performance and Greaterkind's virtuosic playing - this is surely not one to miss. Wynne is one of Hip-Hop’s most remarkable rising stars. Born Sina Wynne Holwerda in 1997, and growing up an outcast in Lake Oswego, a suburb of Portland, Oregon, she gravitated towards Hip-Hop at the age of nine. Studying the greats from afar, and dedicating her life to becoming a rapper by the age of 12, she established herself in the underground scene by competing in national cyphers. Soaking up influence from the greats of generations past (Jay-Z, Dilla, Foxy Brown, and the list goes on), as well as modern paragons like SZA and Drake, Wynne became a phenom by the age of 19, going viral several times and blowing the internet away with her veteran-level rapping. She quickly started gaining co-signs from some of music’s titans (Timbaland, Missy Elliot, Twista, Wyclef Jean) and cultural gatekeepers like Rob Markman and Zane Lowe, among several others. At 21 years old Wynne graduated college after four years of studying music and social justice, and released her debut mixtape “If I May..,” boasting assists from several A-list producers such as Hit-Boy, DJ Dahi, and Sounwave, as well as features from J.I.D, Mahalia, and fellow hometown hero, Damian Lillard. This took her on a sold-out tour with Earthgang and Mick Jenkins at the top of 2020. Through the early 2020s, she dropped an experimental EP with Dreamville super-producer Christo, along with a dozen singles, garnering millions of streams as she shepherded fans towards her new sound, ending the year with a viral hit, “Look At You.”
