Based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Jodie Nicholson uses brooding chamber-pop and synth-laden alt-pop to navigate many of the different relationships we have in our lives: friends, family, relationships with ourselves and, more personally, her changing relationship with music.

From infectious, anthemic tracks through to more spacious, melancholic tracks, Nicholson takes the listener on intimate journeys of minimalism and melancholy through to blooming, euphoric ends. Her signature rich harmonies and ethereal, reed-like vocals remain a compelling constant.

Exploring themes of escapism, nostalgia, self-reflection and changes of heart, Nicholson leans on musical influences including Daughter, Matt Corby, The National, Warpaint, Lucy Rose and Laura Marling. 

Live, Nicholson has performed at Wilderness, All Points East, Cambridge Folk Festival, Y Not and Live at Leeds, as well as supporting the likes of Emeli Sande, Bernard Butler and Highasakite.

Nicholson's brand new album, 'Safe Hands', is released on 10th May 2024 via Quiet Crown/Absolute ahead of a UK headline tour this June.
