Josi Costi has quietly emerged as one of the most compelling new voices in the UK’s indie-folk scene. After touring with artists like Lily Lyons and Flyte, and building a loyal following around London, he is now stepping forward with ´Joya´, his debut solo album.

Set for release in autumn 2025, Joya is a personal and emotionally rich collection of introspective songs. It reflects Josi’s evolution as a songwriter, marked by honesty, craft, and a deep connection to the people and places that have shaped him. His voice is warm and intimate, his melodies effortlessly expressive, and his lyrics speak with mist and care.

SKIN, the first single from the album, released in May, is a stunning and soulful track that offers a glimpse into the world of Joya. Stripped back yet full of depth, it shows Josi´s ability to create music that lingers long after it ends.

Surrounded by long-time collaborators Tal Janes, Ben Reed, Rod Oughton, and producer Brett Shaw, Josi has made something that feels more like a conversation than a performance. Joya is not just a debut. It is a quiet and confident introduction from an artist who has taken his time, and now has something truly worth sharing.
