Originally one-half of the mother-daughter duo Music/TheJudds, frontwoman Wynonna Ellen Judd (May 30, 1964-) broke off for a solo career that lasted most of TheNineties.

Wynonna spent most of TheEighties singing lead vocals in The Judds alongside her mother, Naomi. But CreativeDifferences and Naomi's bout of hepatitis C allowed the two to split in 1991.

Wynonna signed with Curb Records in 1992 and launched her career with her self-titled debut album ''Wynonna'', which was certified quintuple-platinum and sent all three of its first singles to #1: "She Is His Only Need", "I Saw the Light", and "No One Else on Earth". Her sophomore album ''Tell Me Why'' was not quite as successful, but still accounted for multiple radio hits. After a brief hiatus in 1995, she returned in 1996 with ''Revelations'', followed by the GreatestHitsAlbum ''Collection'' and the less successful ''The Other Side'' and ''New Day Dawning''. The latter included a bonus EP, ''Big Bang Boogie'', that reunited her for four songs with her mother.

Her musical output has remained consistent throughout the 21st century, despite diminishing returns at radio. While as one-half of the Judds the material was usually traditional-leaning country, the younger Judd's solo output has found shades of pop, rock, AC, and dance-pop.

She is married to Michael Scott "Cactus" Moser, drummer for late-80s country band Highway 101.

* AdvertisedExtra: Naomi sang backing vocals on "Flies on the Butter (You Can't Go Home Again)", but it was credited as "Wynonna with Naomi Judd" instead of The Judds.
* FirstNameBasis: She is usually credited as just "Wynonna" on her albums.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Occurs in "Girls with Guitars", which contains the lyric "Oughta be a song about girls with guitars".
* ShoutOut: "Girls with Guitars" samples the riffs from "[[Music/{{Cream}} Sunshine of Your Love]]" and "[[Music/DeepPurple Smoke on the Water]]".
* RockBottom: Her 1994 song of the same name is an empowerment anthem declaring that "rock bottom ain't no place to be".
* VocalEvolution: Her voice started getting huskier and throatier as early as her latter-day material in The Judds, but continued to get deeper and rougher with age. On some of her latter songs, she sounds like a man.
