ABOUT

Weslee_363.jpg

WESLEE  is a haven for the art of innovative producer Josh Grant, and expressive singer-songwriter Emma DD.

Introduced at a NYC session, their creative desires aligned instantly. Bonded through a love for music, and a disillusionment with the plastic parameters that constrict modern artists, WESLEE began. Releasing music with no intentions and no pressure, the Alt-R&B duo built an organic cult following with the release of their debut single, ‘Gassed’.

Receiving acclaim from tastemaking heavyweights including Annie Mac, Mistajam,  and Zayn Lowe, it made history as the first track to become ‘Hottest Record in the World’ only 24 hours after its first play. Capturing the attention of Complex, Clash, Wonderland, and Hype Machine, their authentic sound and charismatic energy catapulted them to becoming of the buzziest artists in the scene, selling out venues in London, Brooklyn, and Los Angeles. A string of releases saw them top global specialist charts across DSPs and reach over 70 million streams.

Forced into a brief hiatus during the pandemic, Josh and Emma grew as creatives and individuals; receiving respective Grammy nominations, WESLEE remained an outlet to hone their craft intimately as friends. Refocusing the project with music at the core, 2023 sees the arrival of their innovative ‘Worlds’ project. Sonic representations of the clusters of emotions that inspire their music. Drawing influence from analogue sounds and “noodling around” in the pursuit of timeless sonics; the music blends R&B, Indie, Soul and Pop, channelling fluidity across the genre spectrum. The ‘Worlds’ continue their trademark luscious production, emotive lyricism, and honey-like vocals, bringing a new high to their artistry.
