YOSHIKA COLWELL
Hailing from the South East of England, Yoshika has been writing and gigging solo across the UK since she started making music in earnest in 2017. In early 2022, whilst living in a caravan in the Kent countryside, her home-made demos found their way to the Blue Flowers record label (home to Rosie Lowe and Gotts Street Park) who began working with her. 2024’s debut E.P. ‘There’s A Time’ heralded the arrival of a captivating talent, recorded live in the studio by producer Oli Bayston (Barry Can't Swim, Rachel Chinouriri) the E.P. garnered support from BBC 6Music’s Craig Charles, Huw Stephens and Tom Robinson, BBC Introducing , CLASH, The Line Of Best Fit and The New Cue. In late ’24 a collaborative E.P. with The Vernon Spring followed, an avant garde and deeply intuitive collection which challenged any initial perceptions of Yoshika as a traditional folk artist. Yoshika’s songs are often deeply personal and concerned with attempting to understand the self & others, time, nature and mortality. A life-long Joni Mitchell fan she also takes inspiration from a wide mix of artists inc. Gillian Welch to Linda Perhacs, John Prine to Talk Talk.
Her debut album ‘On The Wing’ was released in July 2025 via Blue Flowers. A captivating and sophisticated collection of eleven songs that traverse the outer regions of folk, it is a record of acceptance and self-discovery, rooted in solitude and personal healing, from one of the UK’s most exciting new singer-songwriters.”
