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]
