Life and career
1997–2014: Early life
Jorja Smith was born on 11 June 1997 in Walsall, West Midlands, to a Jamaican father and English mother.[2] Her father, Peter, a benefits officer, is a former musician and he sang in a neo-soul group called 2nd Naicha before Smith was born, and her mother, Jolene, is a jewellery designer.[2][3] Smith has a younger brother, Luca, and is the cousin of Rangers player Kemar Roofe.[4][5]
She began taking piano lessons at the age of 8 at the encouragement of her father.[6][7] Smith earned a music scholarship at Aldridge School, where she learned the oboe and studied classical singing, before taking music for her A-level exams.[8] She was scouted by a manager at the age of 15 after uploading videos of herself singing cover songs on YouTube.[9] Shortly after, she began travelling to London for writing sessions with Maverick Sabre and Ed Thomas, while still in school.[6][7] After graduation, she moved to London at the age of 18 where she supported herself by working as a barista, and continued to write songs.[9][10]
2015–2018: Career beginnings and Lost & Found
In Late 2015, Maverick Sabre co-signed Smith publicly. [11] In January 2016, Smith released her debut single "Blue Lights", which samples Dizzee Rascal's song "Sirens", on SoundCloud; the song garnered 400,000 plays on the website within a month.[12] Her second single "Where Did I Go?", released in May, was singled out by Drake as his favourite track of the moment in Entertainment Weekly in July.[13] Following the worldwide recognition and exposure Smith gained from Drake, Smith caught the attention of Guy Moot. Moot, an executive and worldwide creative at Sony/ATV with mainstream industry connections, signed Smith to a publishing deal in late 2016. [14] In November 2016, she released her four-track debut extended play, Project 11.[15] The same month, Smith was selected as one of the fifteen rising acts on BBC Music's Sound of 2017 longlist, and finished fourth on the list.[16][17]
Smith performed as a special guest on Drake's Boy Meets World Tour in February and March 2017,[18] and featured on two tracks on his mixtape More Life (2017).[19] She released the song "Beautiful Little Fools" on International Women's Day; the title is a reference to the novel The Great Gatsby.[20] In May, she featured on Kali Uchis' song "Tyrant", the lead single off Uchis' debut studio album Isolation (2018).[21] She released her third single, "Teenage Fantasy", in June.[22] Two months later, Smith and grime artist Preditah released a single together called "On My Mind".[23] In September 2017, she began dating singer and producer Joel Compass.[24]
She performed as the opening act on Bruno Mars' 24K Magic World Tour in October and November 2017.[25] In December, it was announced that Smith would be the recipient of the Brit Critics' Choice Award, to be presented at the Brits nominations launch on 13 January 2018.[26][27] She is the first independent artist to have been nominated for the award, let alone win.[28]
In January 2018, she released the single "Let Me Down" featuring rapper Stormzy.[29] Smith co-wrote and performed the song "I Am" on Kendrick Lamar's soundtrack album for the film Black Panther, released in February.[30] Later that month, she performed at the BRIT Awards with Rag'n'Bone Man.[31] In April, she made her US television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! with a performance of "Blue Lights".[32] Her debut studio album, Lost & Found, written over a five-year period, was announced in April and released in June 2018 to critical acclaim.[10][33][34] In the month of the album's release, Smith began touring in support of the album, with dates scheduled across Europe and festival appearances in Japan.[35] The Lost & Found Tour's North American leg began on 19 November in Seattle and conclude on 19 December in Toronto and will be supported by Ravyn Lenae.[25][36]
2019–present: Upcoming projects
In 2019, Smith announced a co-headlining North American tour with Kali Uchis starting on 28 April in Washington, D.C. and concluding in Toronto on 30 May. In August 2019, Smith released the single "Be Honest" featuring Burna Boy.[37]
Controversy
On 2 November 2020, London based rapper ENNY uploaded a song titled Peng Black Girls, which features Amia Brave. [38] It came after the buzz from ENNY's debut song He's Not Into You, and is an anthem for black women of all skin tones and backgrounds to unite and stand against colourism and racism together. Smith's management at FAMM, heard the original version and subsequently scouted ENNY out to sign her. [39] On 1 December 2020, almost 1 month after the original version, Smith was featured on a remix version with ENNY. [40] It was followed up by a live performance on the COLORS Youtube channel, and sparked a debate on social media about colourism. [41] The music industry has been notorious for being racist and colourist, as white or mixed artists are pushed and promoted more heavily than darker skinned people of colour, and this issue is historically worse in the United Kingdom for black female artists. [42][43][44] Considering the song is about all black women being accepted and having equality, it was off putting to many that Smith, a light skinned mixed black woman, replaced a dark skin black woman on her own song and re-sang her parts. Usually on a remix, an artist is added and no one is erased from the original. However, there are cases where features are removed and replaced by another artist. [45][46] But the person who provides the original chorus is not removed on remixes, and this has been the case with Peng Black Girls, even though Smith herself admitted she didn't live up to the quality of the original chorus. [47] It did not sit well with many music fans on Twitter, Tik Tok and Youtube who felt like replacing Brave was erasing her from the song and negating the whole message. [48] Brave has since done an interview with online publication gal-dem.com to address the accusations and claims she only found out that she wasn't going to be on the remix a week before the video shoot of the original song. Brave wanted to be on the remix and questioned why she was left out, but states that she doesn't think the intent was malicious. [49] Smith however has not made any comments about the backlash as of February 2021.
Influences
Smith grew up listening to reggae, punk, hip-hop, and R&B, and wrote her first song at the age of 11.[50] She describes being "obsessed" with Amy Winehouse's 2003 debut album Frank as a teenager and was inspired by the singer's raw approach to songwriting.[51] Smith said her songs are about social issues: "When things are going on in the world, I think it's important to touch on them, because as a musician, you can make people listen. As soon as people press play, you've got their attention."[52] She cites Lauryn Hill, Amy Winehouse, Alicia Keys, Adele, Sade, Nina Simone, Mos Def and the Streets as influences.[18][53][54] Style wise, Smith sites Rihanna as the sole fashion icon she imitates.
