For polymath artist Wesley Joseph, music and filmmaking are his great loves, and writing a song is like shooting a film. He started making DIY videos aged 12, them when Joseph moved to London to study as a filmmaker, he discovered something in the freedom and independence of city life that demanded to be captured in song, and found a crew of collaborators, including A.K. Paul, Joy Orbison, Leon Vynehall, Loyle Carner, and childhood friend Jorja Smith. His 2021 debut ULTRAMARINE is a deeply textured collection of avant-R&B and soulful future-pop that stretches from psychedelic ballads to hard hip-hop bars.
