About

Joëlla Jackson is a sonic alchemist, blending raw emotion with genre-defying artistry to create music that feels both intimate and explosive. Born into a multicultural household, her sound is a reflection of her diverse roots—infused with the soulful depth of R&B, the rhythmic pulse of Afrobeat, and the introspective lyricism of indie pop. Her early years were shaped by the eclectic sounds of Lauryn Hill, Fela Kuti, and Radiohead, but it was her own voice that ultimately carved a path uniquely hers. Jackson’s breakout single, *"Echoes,"* released in 2022, was a revelation—a haunting ballad that showcased her ability to weave vulnerability and strength into a single melody. Critics praised her "voice that could shatter glass and mend hearts in the same breath," and fans quickly embraced her as a voice for the emotionally unmoored. Since then, her collaborations with producers like Kaytranada and her electrifying live performances have solidified her reputation as an artist unafraid to push boundaries. Now, with a highly anticipated debut album on the horizon, Joëlla Jackson is poised to redefine what it means to be a global artist in the modern era. Her music isn’t just heard—it’s felt, a testament to her ability to turn personal pain into universal anthems.
