Diva

🌿 I’m J.P. Kallio — a Finnish-born indie folk singer-songwriter living in a tiny village in Burgundy, France. After years touring through Europe and the Dublin pub scene, I now write and record in a caravan studio I built beside my garden.

My music blends acoustic folk, ambient textures, and quiet, emotional storytelling — inspired by nature, slow living, and starting over. Listeners often call it peaceful, honest, and grounding.

You could say I’m “The Gardening Musician.” 🌱

🎧 Je suis J.P. Kallio, auteur-compositeur-interprète originaire de Finlande. J’habite aujourd’hui en Bourgogne, où j’écris et j’enregistre mes chansons dans une caravane studio au bord de mon potager.

Mon univers musical mêle folk acoustique, ambiances naturelles et récits intimes. Une musique pour prendre racine.
