About
Josiah Mann is a singer-songwriter from Springfield, Missouri, currently living in Brooklyn, NY. His songs come out of a long walk away from the certainties he grew up with, and what he found on the other side.
His first album, Grace, was a self-produced story album with an accompanying ten-song film project. The Awakening EP is its darker, more mature follow-up. It began as the start of a new full-length album with producer Jeff Smith, but an accident wiped out the masters, so the EP was released as the raw daily mixes.
