Joanna Worthington (born November 7, 1994) is a Canadian multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer, and avant-folk musician from Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario. [1]
Alongside her experimental use of the ukulele, Worthington has been noted for her extensive use of live looping and effects. [2] In 2015, she was the Grand Prize winner in the Songwriters Hall of Fame Songwriting Competition, [3] [4] and has won awards in every year since for her work. [5] Her song 'Amadeus' has been featured in Degrassi: Next Class. [6]
Her music has been described as "explored and articulated through experimental sounds, loops and brash orchestral flashes". [7] It has also been described as “infinite”. This Canadian producer / songwriter / composer crafts experimental post-folk in which intimate recollections explode into limitless soundscapes. Fusing electronic glitches, acoustic nuances, and extraterrestrial melodies, Worthington's work pushes emotionally potent folk songs to the perilous edge. [8] [9]
