Polly Paulusma is an English singer songwriter and renowned folk artist who’s released eight official albums since 2004. She is also a producer and label founder — her own label Wild Sound released records from nine other artists between 2012-2016 before becoming a folk imprint at One Little Independent Records. Her academic book ‘Angela Carter and Folk Song: ‘Invisible Music’, prose, and the art of canorography’ is coming out in December via Bloomsbury Academic.

Her singular brand of insightful songs roam around the badlands of love, sex and parenthood, death and grief, failure and success, violence and healing. Most recently she focuses on the roles of women, in our lives and across history, from a variety of perspectives. As always, she delights in the telling of stories, with littered spoken word aiding her as she utilizes infectious melodies and a light delivery to explore her characters.

Paulusma has toured the world supporting Bob Dylan, Jamie Cullum, The Divine Comedy and Marianne Faithfull, and played Glastonbury, T in the Park, V Festival and Cambridge Folk Festival among many others, touring the USA and Italy. She signed to Sony/ATV in LA and opened for Coldplay at their secret show at The Troubadour in West Hollywood.
