Wesley Joseph has dropped his debut project ‘ULTRAMARINE’, the 8 song EP is the first project from the Birmingham born artist and has one feature from frequent collaborator Jorja Smith.

Wesley Joseph dropped his single ‘Patience’ alongside collaborator Jorja Smith prior to the project release. The video has been out for a week and currently sits on 125 thousand views, the beautifully shot video was directed by the Birmingham artist and showcased his creativity not only musically but in artistic direction.

The 24-year-old musician was lauded by the guardian as a one to watch at the end of 2020, born in Birmingham but raised in Walsall Wesley was part of of a collective called the OG horse collective alongside fellow Walsall star Jorja Smith.

Moving to London in 2016 to study the film, the artist can be seen to not only use his music as a form of personal expression through his lyrics but also his passion for film seeps through in his work having directed a number of his own videos including his most recent single ‘Patience’ and the powerful video for his second single ‘Martys’ featuring Monks.

Wesley’s passion for film and telling a story through visuals is evident and in an interview he did with ID ahead of the release of ‘ULTRAMARINE’ he spoke on modern music videos and said, “It’s a depressing way to look at it but I think, future tense, music is feeling more and more like entertainment instead of its deeper purpose, so videos are following that pattern. They’re parallel things that are attached together and need each other for an artist to exist in full form.”

Wesley Josephs is an artist who uses all avenues of art and entertainment to express himself, through lyrics and songwriting, video directing and even production, Wesley ensures every element of his art is a part of him.

Wesley Josephs new EP ‘ULTRAMARINE’ is available now on all digital platforms.
