Inspired by Stevie Wonder, Carole King, Alicia Keys and James Taylor, Jensen started her musical journey writing in her bedroom to then playing the local songwriting circuit in Los Angeles.

Her 2022 debut album Are You Happy Now? landed at Number One on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter chart and led to tours with the likes of Amos Lee, Corinne Bailey Rae, and MUNA.

Matilda Mann is one of the UK’s most exciting new artists. The London-born indie folk songwriter was named runner-up at Glastonbury Festival’s prestigious Emerging Talent Competition, securing a coveted slot at the iconic festival.
