Josephine & The Artizans

 

Josephine & The Artizans are a Hip-Hopera band from London. The group blend Classical Music with Hip-Hop to create a unique, fresh and innovative sound.

Classically trained Josephine was growing increasingly tired of the cultural gap between the pop-scene and classical world. They are both, of course, based on the same thing. For years people have been becoming more and more catholic in their tastes, so she decided to create something which is neither classical or commercial, but a blend of both.

Josephine & The Artizans have received wide spread acclaim since supporting bands such as Tom Jones, Paloma Faith, Happy Mondays, Maximo Park, The Fratell…is and Tom Odell on the main-stages of the UK’s biggest music festivals. The band have received amazingly positive reviews and airplay on national radio stations from such reputable sources as Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music, BBC 3 Counties, and Premier Radio as well as an overwhelming response from online and printed press, for example Fresh On The Net, Aesthetica Magazine, Love Music Magazine, Adam Not Eve and The Times. The group have also been creating a buzz with their unforgettable live show in their hometown, London, with performances on the main stage at the massive O2 Islington, the legendary Bush Hall, Brixton’s award winning Hootananny and Camden’s world famous Jazz Cafe.
