Joseph Weightman fka.WORRYWORRY
In his previous incarnation Joseph Weightman was signed to the very same big-label machine as international mega-star Sam Smith but, in his heart, Joseph knew this wasn't the path for him.
Under his WORRYWORRY moniker Joseph garnered millions of views on TIKTOK and a legion of devoted fans but still, his creative spirit felt that in some sense, his creativity had outgrown the constraints he felt around him.
Joseph Weightman is the birthname of this generationally talented artist and his readoption of this identity is the stripping away of industry pretense that he had felt spun around him. In this returning to self, Joseph's music has flourished through the delicate and unfettered offering of exquisitely penned folk songs that intertwine both the poetry of nature and the poetry of heart.
Some things however never change and a voice such as Joseph's will echo through the halls of time irrespective of the shell it is dressed up in. Fragile, sincere and soft as the wind in one instance, roaring, tremulous and broad as the sky in the next. Joseph's voice is a remarkable instrument. The kind of instrument that demands one's attention, draws you in, puts a hand on your heart and cradles your chin.
Joseph Weightman's debut single is the double A-side Willow Tree/River Wey and it ignites a new chapter in the spellbinding journey of this truly great artist.
Joseph Weightman will release The Canal via Folk Boy Records in 2025
