Weezy Ford is a songwriter and musician from Portland, Oregon. She works alongside her partner, Mark Robertson, who produces and engineers her records with homemade analog equipment in his studio, Field Electric. In November 2019, she released her first full length record , Sugarcane.

It’s a risky and playful choice that ultimately pays off and leaves the listener wanting more.” – Jerad Walker, OPB
