Vana has been played on NTS shows including The NTS Breakfast Show w/ Flo, with Viimne Ratsu first played on 9 August 2024.

There are two known artists under this name:

Yvonne Winckel aka Vana (she/they) An independent artist from Auckland, New Zealand "Vana is the red haired pop incendiary whose music is fuelled by dark femininity and villainous themes such as lust, jealousy love and revenge. Soft and feminine vocals paired with hard hitting gritty bass and screaming electric guitar gives Vana her lean yet unmistakeable sound that leaves listeners craving more.

With notable platforms on Tiktok, Twitch and Instagram, Vana is passionate about connecting with her supporters and encourages listeners to connect with her personality as much as her music, although her most raw emotions are shared through her musicianship.

Her passion with the guitar and roots in early emo and rock music play a distinctive role in her songwriting and mark the beginnings of a trailblazer in the genres of Dark Trap and Synth pop.

As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, Vana fiercely represents the totality that is the queer experience. Her independent debut single “You’re Not the Only One” not only dives into these themes but does so holistically creating a profoundly relatable listening experience like few before it." - Her Spotify

A eurodance act, arranged and produced by Doc Lorous, Andreas Schulte and Michael Gerlach. Singles: "Take Your Life".
