Polly Paulusma is a British singer-songwriter and academic known for her poetic folk-pop sound and literary depth. Her debut album, ‘Scissors in My Pocket’ (2004), was self-produced and received critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone calling it “an enchanting debut of understated, intelligent folk pop.” Paulusma's musical journey includes albums like ‘Fingers & Thumbs’ (2007), ‘Leaves from the Family Tree’ (2012), and ‘The Pivot On Which The World Turns’ (2022). Her 2025 double album, ‘Wildfires’, produced by Ethan Johns, explored love's many guises, the easy parts as well as the hard, amidst folk instrumentation peppered with spoken-word poetry prologues and sounds from caves and rivers.
Polly Paulusma is also a producer and label founder - her own label Wild Sound released records from nine other artists between 2012-2016 before becoming a folk imprint at OLI. Her academic book ‘Angela Carter and Folk Song: ‘Invisible Music’, prose, and the art of canorography’ was released by Bloomsbury Academic. She was appointed Professor of Song & Literature at ICMP (Institute of Contemporary Music Performance) where she teaches on their Songwriting masters. Paulusma has toured the world supporting Bob Dylan, Jamie Cullum, The Divine Comedy and Marianne Faithfull, and played Glastonbury, T in the Park, V Festival and Cambridge Folk Festival among many others, touring the USA and Italy. She signed to Sony/ATV in LA and opened for Coldplay at their secret show at The Troubadour in West Hollywood.
