Josie’s original songs were receiving airtime on Radio 2 before she even left university, and by the time she had graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, audiences at festivals all over the world, from festival stages in Australia to basements in Glasgow, had come to recognise her as a vital figure within Scottish folk music.
The intervening years have led her to become an expert in crafting heart-warming songs. Winner of 2017’s Radio 2 Young Folk Award, Josie’s versatility was showcased and praised in her New Voices composition, which was commissioned by Celtic Connections in 2021. The acclaimed performance saw Josie’s songwriting venture confidently into new ground, drawing comparisons to Sigrid, Phoebe Bridgers and Maggie Rodgers.
