Essy Sparrow is a multi-disciplinary artist and songwriter creating gossip-filled nostalgic indie folk from her coastal studio in Cornwall.

Her 2024 debut EP “Still Upset About It Actually”produced by Jemima Coulter (Hailaker) sparked TikTok virality, with her track “Artists Dreamers” reaching over 2m views.

In 2025 she played Boardmasters with BBC Introducing, supported Tors and Semler, joined Lily Lyons in opening for The Staves and sold out her 200-cap London headline at St Mary with All Souls.

This year sees a near sold-out UK tour, a slot at Great Escape, and the rollout of her sophomore EP “Gossip from a Coastal Town” rooted in her whimsical, coastal life in Cornwall.

Already amassing 1 million views across Instagram and TikTok, the debut single “Weddings and Funerals” produced by CJ Pandit scored Essy BBC Introducing’s Track of the Week in the South West + a spot cohosting the show alongside Daniel Pascoe.

The project is a gossip-filled indie folk time capsule, weaving in sounds from a live local sea shanty band, a pirate ghost tour guide playing the accordion and live ocean sounds from Cornwall into her whimsical, fun and slightly bittersweet storytelling.
