“There's always been music in my house growing up. In the kitchen, there's a speaker, and we'd always have my mum's iPod in it - she never makes food without listening to music. And I used to watch 'Top of the Pops' with my dad.”

English singer and songwriter

Jorja Smith is an English singer and songwriter from Walsall, West Midlands. Born and raised there, she began writing songs at 11 and came to wider attention through her early recordings. Her cover of Labrinth’s "Earthquake", uploaded to YouTube by a friend in 2012, led to her being discovered by record producer Guy Moot. After her first two singles drew broader notice, she signed with Sony/ATV in early 2016 and released two EPs across 2016 and 2017.
