Jessy Lanza

LA-based Canadian artist Jessy Lanza has brought dance and pop music together and elevated both in the process. At the heart of her work are her own sensual vocals, which bring human warmth and emotion to vibrant, uptempo grooves and result in music that is energetic and accessible yet personal and honest. Next to critically acclaimed albums for Hyperdub, she has made an entry in the DJ-Kicks mix series and toured solo from Asia to Australia and Europe to North America. Her album Love Hallucination features work from producers including Pearson Sound, Jacques Greene, Tensnake, Paul White and Jeremy Greenspan. Her DJ sets are feel-good affairs: retro-future boogie, glossy 80s R&B and party-starting funk, turning later toward deep house and bass-heavy rhythms.
