Jonny Woods is a songwriter, producer, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist known for his work with the Alternative Rock outfit Wynona Bleach. He has worked alongside Grammy nominated producers and engineers and has a focus as a producer on working directly with artists to help create the best atmosphere possible for their style and the right environment for their personality to create the great art they are capable of, regardless of studio type or location.
Jonny has worked on records in Belfast’s Start Together Studios, Dublin’s Windmill Lane (Both operating SSL G+ Series consoles and Protools), his own Studio 1980-something (Amek/Neve console and Logic Pro) and in dozens of on-location and mobile studios, on a wide array of DAWs and hardware.
Experimenting with hardware and software, Jonny is fond of blending the new and the old, from vintage tape echos to creating his own digital impulse response reverbs, when it comes to mixing, it’s all about the song and character.
Regularly touring as 1/5th of Wynona Bleach has seen him perform on three continents, in venues from 50cap to 5000cap, performing songs he has either written entirely, co-written and almost always produced. The debut record “Moonsoake” achieved multiple Spotify editorial play-listing, worldwide radio and amassed tens of thousands of streams before signing to Fierce Panda Records (Placebo, Coldplay, Ash).
The album was recorded in a Portuguese factory that he, Wynona Bleach and their crew built a temporary studio within, and lived by for a month, working alongside Bill Ryder-Jones (The Coral/solo). Since this records release, Jonny’s ongoing relationship with Mixer and producer Andy Bradfield (The Spice Girls, XX, Björk, Rufus Wainright) and Avril Mackintosh (Bryan Adams, Marillion, S-Club) has meant further collaborations on multiple projects as an assistant engineer, guitarist, editor and mixer.
