Jas Ratchford

South East London born Jas Ratchford found her musical feet posting original songs and covers from her childhood bedroom, learning to produce harmony-laden and humorous folk-pop songs inspired by the likes of dodie, Corinne Bailey Rae, Laura Marling and the Staves. After the success of her first singles, Jas self-produced a four track-EP to soundtrack Mark Jones’ off West End play ‘A Part of You’ in 2023, the title track of which won Song Academy’s Young Songwriter competition in September of the same year. As well as numerous appearances on BBC Introducing London, Jas is no stranger to the London live scene, playing frequently in venues such as Green Note, the Troubadour, and the Finsbury, as well as hosting her own night for new singer-songwriters at Greenwich Theatre. Her latest project ‘Big Parade’ was recorded from an Airbnb living room in (almost) one take, the first single ‘Accidentally’ amassing over 30,000 streams in its first month. Jas writes candidly about casual sex, the horrors of the London job market and her dislike of the noisy northern line. Jas is a terrible driver and can often be found oversharing after a single glass of wine.
