Joe Gautrey, 22, an up-and-coming musician from Horsham, realised he wanted to pursue a career in music after performing a solo at one of his school concerts at the age of 16.

The singer and multi-instrumentalist attended Guildford's Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM), following in the footsteps of famous alumni including Mumford & Sons bassist Ted Dwane and Clean Bandit live vocalist Kirsten Joy. Achieving a degree in Music Production, Gautrey combined his talents to self-produce and independently release his debut single, Feeling, in 2018, and has since featured on Universal’s Future Hits playlists. The young singer is currently working on an acoustic EP, dropping this summer, and plans to embark on his first UK solo tour at the end 2019.
