Joan Armatrading

Joan Armatrading has spent more than five decades creating music entirely on her own terms. As a singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer and composer, she has built one of the most distinctive and influential careers in British music.

The first UK female singer songwriter to achieve international success, Joan’s music has crossed rock, blues, jazz, folk and soul while always remaining unmistakably her own. Known for songs including Love And Affection, Willow, Drop The Pilot, Me Myself I and Lovers Speak, her work combines powerful songwriting with rhythmic acoustic guitar playing and melodic electric solos.

Throughout her career Joan has remained independent in spirit and uncompromising in her creativity, continuing to write, record and produce acclaimed music for audiences around the world.
