Joan Armatrading

Joan Armatrading is an artist who has always stayed true to herself and love. Grounded in her music and confident in her abilities, Joan has never buckled to current trends and genres in over five decades of superlative music-making. ‘Influential’ and ‘pioneering’ are just two of the epithets that have been rightly attributed to her.
The very first British female singer/songwriter to gain international success, Joan has won accolade after accolade. An MBE from the Queen in 2001, a CBE in 2020, Joan has even received the keys to Sydney along the way.
With 22 self-penned albums and accolades spanning decades, Joan's subtle and sublime music has touched millions of people all over the world. In the midst of her artistic career, Joan also earned her BA in history, ran a marathon, and dedicated much of her free time to charitable causes.
In musical terms, Joan Armatrading has achieved far more than most performers ever dream of. She has received countless gold, platinum and silver discs and she has figured large in VH1's Top 100 voted poll ‘The Most Influential Woman In Rock’.
Joan’s latest album ‘How Did This Happen and What Does It Now Mean’ was released in 2024, and reflects Joan’s ever present pursuit of love, art, and authenticity.
