Emerging from the Isle of Wight, Amy Jolliffe is a folk-pop singer-songwriter who loves summer, sunflowers and festivals. She has been performing live for over six years and has a First Class Honours Degree in Music. Amy prides herself on her unique song-writing ability and heartfelt lyrics which are inspired by real-life experiences.
Her latest single 'Love Is' was released in February 2025. The song is about love and what it means to different people. It received radio play on multiple stations and was featured in news articles from The County Press, Island Echo and Isle of Wight Radio. Rebecca Todd from Turtle Tempo Magazine said, 'Amy’s music just has a friendly quality to it that sounds incredibly familiar and kind.' Following on from the release of 'Love Is', Amy was Brave Island's 'Young Creative of the Month' in March 2025.
Amy takes influence from a large pool of artists. She is inspired by 1960s folk, which is synonymous with the iconic Isle of Wight Festivals, but also loves classic rock and modern pop music. She first picked up a guitar when she was eleven years old and taught herself how to play with her brother's guidance, and she grew up listening to her dad's record collection, which inspired the music she creates today.
Amy has performed at events including Ventnor Fringe, Rhythm Tree Festival and Wolverton Folk & Blues Fair, where she was the opening act on the mainstage in 2023. Furthermore, she has performed at the Isle of Wight Festival four times, and was shortlisted twice for the 'Wight Noize' competition.
Amy's energetic performances include heartfelt vocals and bright acoustic guitar. She mainly does acoustic performances but can also be found performing with her band, or with her friend Ellen.
In March 2025, Amy was awarded with 'Mike Howley Trust' Funding, which she is planning to use to record new music at Empire Sound. She will also be back at the Isle of Wight Festival this year on Sunday 22nd June, where she will be performing with her band on the Platform One Stage. With exciting plans for the future, Amy Jolliffe is one to look out for in the local music scene.
