Josephine Sillars is an artist and activist, currently working with the West Yorkshire Music Network as a Coordinator. Originally from the Scottish Highlands, her music has been supported by BBC Introducing and BBC Radio Scotland, where she has been a Track of the Week Artist multiple times, as well as featuring in DORK, Lock Magazine, the UK Official Charts and more. As a session player she works with touring bands Declan Welsh and the Decadent West, The Girobabies and Rubber Rose.

Outside of performing, Josephine is one half of Popgirlz Scotland, a group with over 200 members supporting women, trans and non-binary people in music. Alongside Popgirlz founder Rachel Johnson (Kohla), she has led a lecture series to UK, Irish and Scandinavian universities where the duo presented research into Intersectionality within Spotify algorithms, fighting for equity for marginalised artists. This research has been published by PRS M Magazine, Scots Life and more.

Josephine also works as a fundraiser, with the majority of her work being for marginalised artists. She has raised over £150,000 in 3 years across Creative Scotland, Arts Council England and Help Musicians and is currently on the 30 Under 30 List for Young Women’s Movement (Scotland) in recognition of this work.
