When Joshua Idehen was working at burlesque bar, he couldn't imagine a life making music and poetry full-time. But since moving to Sweden, a country that values art by investing in artists, he has found peace with being a working musician. His debut album I Know You’re Hurting, Everyone Is Hurting, Everyone Is Trying, You Have Got To Try is out in March 2026 on Heavenly. Photo: Fabrice Bourgelle
