Reemerging from a career of soaring highs and hard-won evolutions, Josephine Oniyama returns as a fully self-produced powerhouse. Melding contemporary folk with hints of jazz and noir-soul, this is exceptional songwriting and heartfelt production built on raw integrity. Josephine is a one-of-a-kind voice finally defining success on her own terms. Her music is a masterclass in grit, perseverance, talent and a dedication to a creative life.

New single "Leaves" Coming soon!
