Josie Wray

I’m a professional singer based in Sheffield, providing live music for weddings, private parties, corporate events and special occasions across the UK. With years of professional performance experience, I specialise in Soul, R&B, Pop, Jazz and Funk, with a repertoire ranging from timeless classics to modern favourites.

My performances can be tailored to suit your event, whether you’re looking for relaxed, soulful music for a wedding ceremony or drinks reception, or an upbeat, feel-good set to get your guests singing and dancing. I provide my own professional PA system, microphone and basic stage lighting, making the booking process as easy and stress-free as possible.

I’ve performed at venues and major events across the UK, including the ICC Birmingham, The Shard, the Women’s Rugby World Cup in York and corporate events alongside artists including Lemar and Ruby Turner.

Music has been a huge part of my life from a very young age. I grew up in Sheffield and started performing at around 10 years old, developing a love for soul, R&B, jazz and funk and drawing inspiration from legendary artists such as Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan and Donny Hathaway.

Over the years, that passion has grown into a professional career as a singer, songwriter and live performer. I've performed at weddings, private celebrations, corporate events and major venues across the UK, including the ICC Birmingham, The Shard and the Women's Rugby World Cup in York. My original music has also received radio support, including plays on BBC Radio and KISS FM.

What I love most about performing is the connection music creates between people. There's something incredibly special about singing someone down the aisle, providing the soundtrack to a drinks reception or seeing a room go from quietly listening to everyone being up on their feet dancing. I love taking songs people already know and giving them my own soulful style while creating an atmosphere that feels warm, genuine and memorable.
