new single
Emerging country music sensation Josie drops her latest single, ‘Life on the Flip Side’. This heartfelt mid-tempo serves as a follow-up to her popular song ‘Freight Man’, and it dives deeper into her life on the road, capturing the unique and resilient lifestyle of rural Australia.
Inspired by Josie's often used catchphrase, "catch ya on the flip side", the song narrates her experiences growing up in the cab of her dad's Western Star road train. “It’s telling the story of my life on the road from a different angle to Freight Man, touching on the fact it wasn’t exactly something kids in the school yard thought was cool right away”, admits the singer-songwriter. “Having been into many different stations and remote places across the travels in the truck, it truly opened my eyes to their lifestyle, the work that went into living that life, and how tough it really can be out there.”
"You can feel the connection to rural Australia in every note
of her tunes, shaped by the vast landscapes she called home."
Bio
Josie's country music journey kicked off right from the heart of Townsville, North Queensland, before becoming a pit stop between her travels into Australia’s outback. Josie practically grew up in the cab of her Dad's Western Star road train as he serviced the country, and instilled a hard-working lifestyle. You can feel the connection to rural Australia in every note of her tunes, shaped by the vast landscapes she called home.
Collaborating with Travis Collins at the CMAA Academy in 2018, her life on the road turned into the authentic and raw 'Freight Man.' Released in September 2023, after a TikTok campaign that got over 4 million views, the song hit not just trucking audiences worldwide but also perfectly captured the vibe of Josie's upbringing. With her debut single being released less than 12 months ago, she has already racked up over half a million streams across streaming platforms, landing herself on multiple editorial playlists, and charting on country music radio across the world.

With a killer voice and powerful songs to match, she possesses some serious authenticity and a whole lot of swagger sure to get your boots tappin, and heart strings pulled.
