ABOUT SJ
Part angel. Part banshee. All fire.
SJ Mortimer is not your typical singer-songwriter.
​
With a voice that can whisper like smoke and roar like thunder, SJ has built a reputation as one of the most compelling frontwomen in modern UK Americana rock. As the lead singer and songwriter of Morganway, she commands stages with raw power, emotional honesty and a magnetic presence that has seen her compared to Stevie Nicks, Janis Joplin and even a female-fronted Zeppelin.
​
From recording her debut album Nashville Sessions in Tennessee to touring across the UK, Europe, the US and China, SJ’s journey has been defined by fearless creativity and a refusal to be boxed in. Her songwriting moves effortlessly between grit and grace, heartache and defiance, country storytelling and soul-drenched rock.
​
With charting albums, major festival stages, international tours and four-time BCMA Band of the Year awards with Morganway, SJ now stands on the edge of a bold new chapter.
​
In 2026, SJ will release her most powerful and personal solo work to date—recorded in Muscle Shoals and rooted in country, folk and soul. Written with a new level of truth, depth and fire, this is the sound of SJ Mortimer at her most open, honest and fearless.
