Who: Josephine Illingworth
Folk
Josephine Illingworth is a London-based musician and artist who paints pictures with sound. A long-distance hiker and chronic wanderer, she constructs her songs as journeys, weaving stark poetry, folklore, glimmering guitar and field recordings into a soundscape that feels almost tactile. Fascinated by nature and religion, her songwriting is built of her own personal mythology; memories of her suburban childhood and stories from the fields and mountains she wandered to once she grew up, twisted through the vivid and sometimes surreal lens of her lyricism. It’s a sound that has resonated with fans worldwide, after her track ‘Silent Earth’ caught the attention of millions cementing her as one of the most eagerly anticipated voices of today; something she will continue to prove with the release of her debut EP this May, written and produced entirely by herself. Simultaneously excelling in the live arena, Josephine’s performances have been captivating audiences across the UK with a packed out live schedule planned for the year ahead. At its centre, Josephine is anchored by a voice that is at once shivering, delicate and sometimes terrifying
