It’s imperative, in modern times, for musicians to be a jack of all trades. With ever shrinking revenue from traditional avenues, we’re being pushed to do more and more to keep our careers afloat. This is a challenge that Josephine was made for: she’s a producer, singer, songwriter, polyglot, disruptive entrepreneur, amateur carpenter, and literally too many other things to list. While she maintains a subtle air of mystery, you still feel like you know her after talking to her, and undoubtedly walk away with a new friend.
Josephine’s music combines a variety of different influences (she’s as much a jazz head as an appreciator of rock and electronic). This shows in her catalogue, as her output consists of songs of entirely different genres, but united in impeccable production, an ear for melody, and personal yet relatable lyrics.
In this episode of The Test Press Podcast (Jo’s first ever podcast highlighting her Josephine Project), the two discuss Josephine’s potentially dangerous beginnings as a young creative, Brylan gets to the bottom of Jo’s music collective/consumer good startup Cosmic Jelly, and consider the healing power of creating. Later, in a Test Press first, the two engage in a beat battle judged by a surprise guest. Finally, Brylan talks to Josephine about her bombastic tune “Stop Chasing Flower Girls !”, a rock/hyperpop-adjacent single imprinted with Jo’s incredible production chops that will have you hitting the replay button.
You’ll love this episode “like all your fantasies do”!
