JP O’Grady is a Scottish-American singer-songwriter and producer whose music channels raw honesty into bold, melodic storytelling. Now based in London after a journey through Texas, Aberdeenshire, Glasgow and Cornwall, his music mirrors his restless geography: expansive, human, and full of heart. After building a foundation under the name Citizen Papes, O’Grady has returned to his own identity, marking a new chapter defined by a sharper creative vision and a more vulnerable sound.

O’Grady has built a dedicated following through candid explorations of anxiety, faith, and vulnerability, blending the cinematic resonance of Coldplay with the poetic grit of Big Thief. His 2025 EP “Sensitive Little Man” written and produced almost entirely by O’Grady himself, serves as a definitive statement of his craft. The record features the cathartic breakup anthem "Powerful" which captures the light at the end of a whirlwind romance, and the gut-punch ballad "Heavenly Father” a track that wrestles with spiritual doubt and existential yearning.

His rise has been bolstered by significant industry support, earning frequent spins on BBC Radio 1 (Mollie King’s Future Pop) and BBC Scotland, alongside consistent playlisting on Amazing Radio. With a recent feature in Wonderland highlighting his self-aware lyrical voice, JP O’Grady has firmly cemented his reputation as a vital artist to watch. This reputation continues to grow as he prepares for a series of upcoming headline shows and joins Nick Mulvey as support on his highly anticipated tour across the UK and Europe.
