BiographyJoscelyn Eve Stoker (born 11 April 1987), known professionally as Joss Stone, is an English singer, songwriter, and actress. She rose to prominence in late 2003 with her multi-platinum debut album, The Soul Sessions, which made the 2004 Mercury Prize shortlist. Her second album, Mind Body & Soul (2004), topped the UK Albums Chart and spawned the top-ten single "You Had Me", Stone's most successful single on the UK Singles Chart to date. Both the album and single received one nomination at the 2005 Grammy Awards, while Stone herself was nominated for Best New Artist, and in an annual BBC poll of music critics, Sound of 2004, was ranked fifth as a predicted breakthrough act of 2004. She became the youngest British female singer to top the UK Albums Chart. Stone's third album, Introducing Joss Stone, released in March 2007, achieved gold record status by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and yielded the second-ever highest debut for a British female solo artist on the Billboard 200, and became Stone's first top-five album in the US.
Her two subsequent albums, Colour Me Free! and LP1, released in 2009 and 2011, respectively, also reached the top-ten on the Billboard 200 and saw moderate success worldwide. Throughout her career, Stone has sold 15 million records worldwide, establishing herself as one of the best-selling soul artists of the 2000s, and the best-selling British artists of her time. Her first three albums have sold over 2,722,000 copies in the US, while her first two albums have sold over 2 million copies in the UK.
Stone has earned several awards including two Brit Awards and one Grammy Award out of five nominations. She made her film acting debut in 2006 with the fantasy adventure film Eragon, and made her television debut portraying Anne of Cleves in the Showtime series The Tudors in 2009. Stone was the youngest woman on the 2006 Sunday Times Rich List—an annual list of the UK's wealthiest people—with £6 million. In 2012, her net worth was estimated to be £10 million, making her the fifth richest British musician under 30. Her sixth studio album, The Soul Sessions Vol. 2 (2012), became her fourth consecutive album to reach the top-ten on the Billboard 200. She followed this with Water for Your Soul (2015), a reggae inspired album which reached number one on the US Reggae Albums chart, and became the best-selling reggae album of the year in the country. Her eighth studio album, Never Forget My Love, was released in 2022, followed by her first Christmas album, Merry Christmas, Love, in the same year.
