Comment: First, this is written like profile rather than an encyclopedia article. Other than that, see WP:BANDMEMBER and note interviews or his comments cannot be used to establish notability. A couple more critical reviews of his solo album though should get it over the hump. S0091 (talk) 22:18, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, and Tom Waits are cited as influences on Winter's solo material.[1][9][10]
Voice
[edit]Describing Winter's vocals on Projector (2021), Jon Dolan in Rolling Stone said that Winter "can hoist his voice into a Thom Yorke-an falsetto, put on a posh pout à la Julian Casablancas or Ian McCulloch of Echo and the Bunnymen, or lapse into a stentorian yawp that brings to mind Mark E. Smith of the Fall or Arctic Monkeys’ Alex Turner."[11]
When it comes to Winter's vocals on Heavy Metal (2024), Walden Green in Pitchfork describes his voice as a "woozy baritone", a "versatile and tender instrument ... immediately remarkable for its sheer range and depth of tone."[5] Nick Cave describes his voice on the album as "glorious" and "emotive".[12][13]
