Mickey Wynne, known professionally as The World of Mick, is a session musician, composer and songwriter whose career has moved through bands, studios, teaching and solo records.
His story is shaped by collaboration, a lifelong curiosity about music and songs drawn from lived experience.
The chapters are different, but the thread is the same: making music with people, learning from every room and carrying those experiences into the next song.
Mickey Wynne’s path has crossed school and college bands, London’s session circuit, writing work in New York, teaching and independent records. The constant has been a curiosity about music and the people who make it.
Mickey played in a band at school and taught Julian Lennon guitar. While at college in Newcastle he played with several bands. He later joined Posh Monkeys; their first record reached number one in the local charts. After the band split, he formed the songwriting group Best Cartoons with its lead singer and writer, Denis Tweedy.
After moving to London, Mickey taught guitar while building a name on the session circuit. A development deal with MCA Records took him to New York, where he worked as a writer. Back in London, he spent six months at Abbey Road Studios on the Wiseguys album project. His writing and playing have also taken him to Karachi, Mexico, Singapore, Sydney, Hamburg and Nashville, where he worked with the Pioneers, a side project for The Who’s John Entwistle.
In Brighton, Mickey formed the production company Harmonia with actor and musician Patrick Bergin. He also lectured part-time at BIMM, teaching subjects from songwriting and guitar session styles to music theory. His solo albums MICK I (2016) and MICK II (2022) brought those experiences into his own work.
As a library composer, Mickey’s catalogue includes tracks placed in television and film, including David Attenborough’s Paradise Birds. As a songwriter, he returns to the character and complexity of love, drawing on experience and collaboration. MICK II has received BBC national radio play as well as airplay in other countries.
Mickey has worked across artists, producers and co-writers. His debut album brought together friends and collaborators including pedal-steel guitarist B. J. Cole, Patrick Bergin, bassist Jim Mortimore and engineer Joe Gibb.
Every chapter leaves something behind: a sound, a story, or a reason to write the next song.
