"Fuzzy's voice is like something you heard in a dream, truly original.”
Corinne Bailey Rae
Fuzzy Jones is an award winning singer-songwriter and ‘queen of Junk Shop Folk’ based in Leeds, UK. She conjures up vivid urban tales of the everyday. Her lyrics draw you in around melamine tables, of kitsch faded orange cafes.
Fuzzy likes to describe her music as a tea party with Joni Mitchell and David Bowie, where Burt Bacharach occasionally pops by for a coffee. “Her music is cool, effortless and catchy.”
Fuzzy’s music has been played on Stuart Maconie’s ‘Freak Zone’, Gideon Coe -BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing, BBC Radio Leeds, York, Manchester & Lincolnshire, Radio DIVA, Folk Radio UK, East Leeds FM and many more.
In late 2017 Fuzzy was busy releasing her latest tune, Blue Jean (No. 45) to critical acclaim:
"That was Fuzzy Jones, new and rather good!" Gideon Coe (BBC 6 Music)
“Blue Jean” is catchy as hell, and the b-side “Perfume” is pretty fine too. One to watch.” (The Arts Desk)
“It is absolutely incredible! You can hear a wealth of influences and experiences…coming from the musical mind of someone with you can tell really loves music. The vocal performance, the composition, the arrangement, everything about it is absolutely perfect. I’m treasuring it forever!” Cameron Robson (BBC Introducing)
New projects include a ukulele song book for children (and their parents!), fully illustrated by Fuzzy herself…
