John Winckel

John Winckel is a Dutch composer, songwriter, and creative technologist. He helps songwriters and composers return to what’s real. His work begins with listening: to the body, to the room, to the feeling beneath the words. He believes creativity isn’t something you force; it’s something you notice, nurture, and allow to take shape.

With True Song, John offers 52 prompts designed to guide you back to your authentic emotional center, so the writing can come from truth instead of performance. Each question is a doorway: into a lyric, a melody, a rhythm, or a moment of clarity.

John lives at the intersection of music and craft as a composer and creative guide, supporting artists who want to write with honesty, simplicity, and momentum.

With over 1,850 global sync placements, from series and ads to TV-networks, John Winckel is the composer-producer who brings emotion, authenticity and fresh production to life. Whether you’re a brand, filmmaker, artist or supervisor, he combines multi-instrumental skills to craft music that sticks.
