Jorja Smith is one of the UK’s brightest stars who began writing music at the tender age of 11. Gaining fans with a series of singles and EPs led to Smith featuring on Drake’s More Life and Kendrick Lamar’s Black Panther soundtrack. She then broke through in 2018 with her UK Hip Hop and R&B Album Charts #1 debut album, Lost & Found.
The record was critically acclaimed and won Smith two Brit Awards for Critic’s Choice (2018) and Best British Female Solo Artist (2019), a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist (2019), and a Mercury Prize nomination for Album of the Year.
Smith followed Lost & Found with the 2021 EP, Be Right Back, before unleashing her sophomore record falling or flying in 2023. The album was another massive success for Smith, reaching the #1 spot on the UK Hip Hop and R&B Album Charts.
In May this year she released falling or flying (reimagined), featuring new versions of the album’s tracks.
Having performed at some of the world’s premier festivals like Reading & Leeds, Pukkelpop and Superbloom, appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Later… with Jools Holland and the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, and received rave reviews from Rolling Stone, DIY MAG and NYLON, Smith has cemented herself as one of this generations greatest voices, making her show one you don’t want to miss.
