Winksy is an emerging indie rock band from the Geelong/Melbourne (Naarm) region, led by songwriter Willem Kingma alongside collaborator Kelli Blackmore. The project is known for its quirky, lyric-driven songwriting and vintage-inspired sound, drawing strong influence from classic acts like The Beatles, The Kinks, and The Velvet Underground. Their music blends 60s-style pop/rock revivalism with modern indie sensibilities, creating a distinctive style built on jangly guitars, soulful harmonies, and introspective themes about the human experience. Winksy gained attention with releases like their debut album My Anatomy (2024), showcasing their ability to combine nostalgic influences with fresh, expressive songwriting. Known for their strong DIY ethos, the band is also involved in the visual and creative direction of their work, including self-produced music videos and artwork. Their live performances and recordings reflect a balance of playful creativity and existential themes, positioning them within Australia’s growing indie and alternative scene.
