Known for her fearless storytelling, raw emotional depth and unflinching honesty, Kathryn Joseph has made a lasting mark on contemporary music. A relentless pursuit of truth runs through her work, from the award-winning Bones You Have Thrown Me and Blood I’ve Spilled (2015) to From When I Wake The Want Is (2018) and for you who are the wronged (2022), a powerful reckoning with abuse. Her fourth album, created in collaboration with Lomond Campbell, WE WERE MADE PREY. (2025) marked a new chapter exploring want, loss and shame with a heightened intensity that is bigger, angrier and full of desire.
Her music blends sparse piano, cyclical structures and intimate vocals with haunting electronics and textural depth. Across her work, she confronts power, vulnerability and the complexities of human experience, giving voice to stories often silenced or overlooked, and rooted in themes of grief, desire, violence, survival and resistance.
