The Irrepressibles
Summary
The Irrepressibles is the project of Jamie Irrepressible, composer, vocalist, producer, and visual conceptualist known for emotional performance and genre-blurring sound. A defining voice in queer art pop and alternative performance, Jamie blends classical beauty, alt-pop experimentation, and bold visual concepts. Debuting with Mirror Mirror (2010) and its global hit In This Shirt—now over 325M streams and widely used in film and TV—The Irrepressibles gained a devoted international following. Follow-ups Nude (2012) and Superheroes (2020) expanded this cinematic, intimate world. With Yo Homo! (2024), hailed as “a milestone in queer indie rock” and “desire paired with alt-rock swagger,” Jamie entered a raw, sexually candid, and sonically adventurous new phase. The Irrepressibles have performed sold-out shows at Barbican Centre, Royal Festival Hall, and Latitude Festival, and collaborated with Röyksopp, ionnalee, and Tinlicker. Through music, video, and performance, Jamie explores identity, sensuality, freedom, and connection, standing as one of the most compelling queer voices in contemporary music.
