John Glacier is a rapper and poet born in 1995 in Hackney, London, to a Caribbean household where reggae, soca and calypso blended with grime and rap introduced by her siblings. Writing poetry since childhood, she has built a distinctive, genre-blurring style rooted in London's culture, with early work including the mixtape 'SHILOH' and the Jamaica-honoring track 'Trelawny Waters.'
In January 2024 she signed to Young Records, the label behind FKA twigs and Sampha, and released her debut album 'Like a Ribbon' in February 2025 — a three-part project spanning the EPs 'Like a Ribbon,' 'Duppy Gun' and 'Angel's Trumpet.' She has collaborated with producers including Kwes Darko, Flume, Sampha and Andrew Aged, performed sold-out shows at Field Day and London's ICA, and appeared in fashion campaigns for Burberry, Marine Serre and Louis Vuitton.
