Wanaka

Story

With little more than his ukulele and deeply evocative voice, Wanaka creates a uniquely intimate style of indie-folk. His songs are heartfelt stories of love and loss, brought to life in vivid detail by his gift for poetic lyricism. Influenced by everything from grunge and alt-rock to modern singer/songwriters, Wanaka’s performances are humble yet powerful, complete with meaningful observations and memorable imagery. With new music expected in 2022 and beyond, this French-born Israeli artist is poised to continue sharing his passion with the world for years to come.
