Life and career

Maiah Wynne was born in Colorado and moved to Spokane, Washington, when she was young and her first song was composed at the age of seven. She spent her high school years in Missoula, Montana, where she started taking part in music competitions.[2] After winning a few of them, she earned slots at the Upstream Music Fest, Timber Music Festival, Northwest Folklife and the KEXP public radio station. Her acting career brought her an invitation to perform at the Sundance Music Festival.[3] [4] In 2017 she wrote and performed "The Ballad of Lefty Brown," a song featured in the end credits of the movie with the same name.[5] In 2019 she won the International Music from the Moon songwriting contest and performed for the Apollo 11's 50th anniversary homecoming dinner at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.[6] [7] She was also featured in NPR's 2019 Tiny Desk Contest as the first entry and toured as a featured artist with the Portland Cello Project. She collaborated with Portland Cello Project and Alex Lifeson of Rush for her song, "Fearless Girl."

Wynne, Lifeson, and Canadian singer Andy Curran worked together on a four-track EP, tentatively titled Middle of Nowhere.[8] In 2021, Wynne, Curran and Lifeson's EP was revealed as the album Envy of None; this project also includes guitarist Alfio Annibalini, with additional musical contributions coming from drummers Tim Oxford (Arkells) and David Quinton Steinberg (Dead Boys, the Mods).[9]
