Jorja Smith
After completing a US headline tour in 2017, Jorja Smith joined Bruno Mars on his US tour, and has finished writing her debut album. Featuring songs mostly written between the ages of 16-18, it’s a youthful exploration of love and anger, but also an album about self-discovery. She won’t be putting it out until 2018, though. Why? “Because I’m not in a rush. I’ve never rushed anything in my life.” After all, she’s still entirely independent, controlling every part of her artistic identity, from music video to artwork to release schedules. Also, I like 2018, because what does 2 plus 0 plus 1 plus 8 equal?” she says. “Eleven. Which is my favourite number in the world. So, I think it’s meant to be.”
Jorja Smith plays TWO shows in Toronto at The Opera House on May 5th & 6th
