Winter is an American bi-lingual indie rock band led by Brazilian-born singer/songwriter Samira Winter.[1]
Samira Winter was born in Curitiba, Brazil in 1991 to a Brazilian mother and an American father. She moved to Los Angeles, California, in order to get into college. She formed the band Winter in Boston in 2012, and they released the four-song EP Daydreaming the following year through Lolipop Records. The band's next release was 2014's Tudo Azul, also a four-song EP; most of the lyrics on this release are in Portuguese.[2]
Winter's debut full-length album, Supreme Blue Dream, was released in 2015. The band embarked on a two-year international tour to support the album, touring mostly through the US, Brazil and Argentina.[3] [4] [5] Between 2016 and 2018, while still touring to support Supreme Blue Dream, Winter released several standalone singles.[6] [7] They toured with Summer Twins during this period.[8]
Also during this period, Samira Winter self-recorded several solo songs and placed them online. The songs were mostly promoted in the Brazilian press due to their Portuguese lyrics.[9] Winter's second studio album, Ethereality, was released in 2018. Samira Winter and her sister formed their own label, Everything Blue Records, to release the album. The band's most recent album, What Kind of Blue Are You?, was released in October 2022.
