JOSS STONE

In the organizer's words:

Joss Stone is a Grammy and Brit Award-winning artist who released her acclaimed debut album "The Soul Sessions" in 2003 at the age of 16. Over the course of her career, she has released nine studio albums, which have sold over 15 million copies worldwide.
Stone has performed with legendary artists such as James Brown, Burt Bacharach, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Sting, Van Morrison, Melissa Etheridge, Jeff Beck, Mick Jagger and Damien Marley and has amassed over one billion streams in the US alone.
In 2014, she completed her daring "Total World Tour", performing in every country in the world and collaborating with local artists and charities.
Her critically acclaimed 2022 album 'Never Forget My Love' was her eighth studio album, which she co-wrote and produced with Dave Stewart of Eurythmics, with whom she also wrote the music and lyrics for the West End musical 'The Time Traveler's Wife'.
In 2023, Stone embarked on her anniversary tour "20 Years of Soul", during which she recorded her first live album "20 Years of Soul - Live in Concert". A highlight of the tour was a sold-out concert at London's Royal Albert Hall, which drew enthusiastic reactions from the audience and was highly praised by critics. This was followed by the Ellipsis Tour in 2024 and her reduced "Less Is More" tour of North and South America in 2025, as well as a series of joint concerts with Melissa Etheridge.
On December 1, 2025, Joss will release a brand new Christmas song - a cover of Phil Spector and Darlene Love's classic "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" - which will be available on all major streaming platforms from December 1. In 2026, she will embark on the next leg of her successful "Less Is More" tour in the USA, with further dates in Europe in June and July currently being announced.
Joss is also co-host of "A Cuppa Love", a lifestyle and relationship podcast with soul sensation Lemar, which will continue until 2026. In "A Cuppa Love", the duo are accompanied by a relationship expert in each episode. The podcast is a continuation of Joss' successful podcast "A Cuppa Happy". She has also collaborated on duets in the studio in 2025 with US artist Jessie Decker, Northern Irish country artist Gareth and British soul star and sometime co-writer of Stone, Conner Reeves.
The ever-busy mother of four is also currently working on new music for her ninth studio album, which is due for release in 2027.
