Gaetan Judd
Artist
Grammy-nominated musician Gaetan Judd has had a spectacular rise to fame since leaving BIMM London in 2018. The talented guitarist, songwriter and producer has collaborated with the likes of Noname, Burna Boy, and Ella Mai, and he even has credits on the track ‘Who Told You’ by J Hus feat. Drake – which has almost 160 million plays on Spotify!
Gaetan found his vocation while playing in church and is inspired by R&B and Gospel. His first professional gig was with singer-songwriter Samm Henshaw, who has supported both James Bay and Chance the Rapper on tour. As his childhood friend, Gaetan still regularly plays in Samm’s band – as shown by their performance on Later… With Jools Holland.
Reflecting on the experience, Gaetan said, “I grew up with three of the band members and we’d always speak about certain TV shows or festivals we’d love to play so doing that [playing on Later… With Jools Holland] with my brothers was amazing.”
Since then, Gaetan has reached a global audience through his live performances at Madison Square Gardens, Glastonbury, NPR Tiny Desk, The X Factor, and many more. In 2022, his musical journey took another exciting turn as he joined Burna Boy for a jaw-dropping performance on Glastonbury’s Other Stage.
One of Gaetan’s most recent projects was Noname’s fantastic album Sundial, on which he was executive producer. In 2024, he received two Grammy nominations – for Tems’ Born in the Wild and for the soundtrack Bob Marley: One Love – Music Inspired By The Film.
Gaetan has already achieved so much, and we can’t wait to see what his future holds.
