In 1995 she began to learn classical guitar, later she turned to more modern guitar players such as De Moraes , Pernambuco , Ned Brower and Brindle.
Then she started composing and wrote her first song at the age of 14. She also began singing training in a gospel choir. As a teenager, she started her own way in the music business by performing in various small clubs. Chaka Khan , Stevie Wonder , Terence Trent D'Arby and Sarah Vaughan later became her vocal models.

Album Escapizm
The album was produced by Fabio Balestrieri for Kouyatè and recorded over a period of two years in Italy, Belgium and the UK. The reason for this was the collaboration with Phil Gould ', who also co-produced Rain and Dream Alone . Many of the songs were recorded in Phil Gould's country house studio in Dorset. The production followed the idea of creating an album from sounds, which corresponded to the desire of Fabio Balestrieri and Winter for real music, so every detail was played with real instruments. This idea was developed at Hours in Window Studio, which also recorded most of the instruments - including the sound of the frogs by the brook.
The harmonica player Toots Thielemans , percussionist Miles Bould , double bass player Pino Pecorelli , keyboardist and singer Mike Lindup , bassists Yolanda Charles and Mirco de Grandis and violin player Neil Black participated . The mastering of the album was carried out by Martin Giles at Alchemy Soho in London.
