Signed to Decca to relaunch the Verve label, Jodie Marie follows a strong lineage of artists - from Nina Simone and Billie Holliday to the Velvet Underground - and is set to transcend trends and convention with her debut album (produced by Bernard Butler and Ed Harcourt) that is due out in March 2012. Discovered by Transgressive Management (the team behind Johnny Flynn, Foals and The Noisettes) when Toby L’s father was on a trip back to his hometown in Wales. Speaking about his son’s involvement in the music industry over breakfast, he was instructed by the landlady to check out the local plumber’s daughter’s music.
