A singer, songwriter, producer & guitarist, Jesa builds her distinctive sound from a love for Afro-American music and contemporary soul.
Training as a jazz musician in Paris led to her developing a deep understanding and affinity with rich harmonic language and rhythmic flavours, a toolbox used to full effect in her songwriting. Her music infuses soulful top lines with elements of jazz fusion and gospel, creating diverse sonic palettes with heavy, percussive grooves, expansive synths and a multi-lingual poetic flare.
Her debut, independent EP, 'FACES', has been a labor of love. The project chronicles the ups and downs of young woman navigating relationships, love and personal growth. The songs on the project became a vehicle for Jesa to articulate feelings of loneliness & despair, process toxic relationships & trauma, and deal with the transition from adolescence into adulthood. In many ways, it's a coming-of-age record with a statement of intent and arrival, and a love letter to sonic influences like <a href="spotify:artist:5bepW5vcdRzheNc0F8lHJ5" data-name="Esperanza Spalding">Esperanza Spalding</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2RP4pPHTXlQpDnO9LvR7Yt" data-name="Lianne La Havas">Lianne La Havas</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5a2EaR3hamoenG9rDuVn8j" data-name="Prince">Prince</a>.
Based in Paris, this exciting new artist is ready to break into the bubbling European future soul and nu-jazz conversation.
The project has found support from the SACEM, Jazz FM, Jazz:refreshed, Soho Radio, Rinse FM & Jazz FM in the UK and from FIP Radio, La Blogothèque & TSF Jazz in France.
She is now working on her next EP.
