With her honest, warm, and raw vocals, Jaleesa invites the audience into a rare universe where vulnerability and strength stand side by side. Her music combines personal stories with political themes reflecting contemporary life as a woman and Afro-Dane, delivered through a timeless sound where neo-soul meets organic retro influences, drawing inspiration from jazz and Italian ’70s soundtracks.
For many years, she has been a sought-after backing vocalist for major artists such as Coco O. and Alex Vargas, but now she shines as a solo artist with her own musical universe. Jaleesa released her debut single, “Woman,” in October 2024, followed by “Crystal Tears,” “Black Jade,” and “Your Light.” With praise from GAFFA and Scandinavian Soul, over 500 international airplays, and A-rotation on P8, Jaleesa has established herself as one of the most exciting new voices on the Danish soul scene. On October 3, 2025, her long-awaited and critically acclaimed debut album, Sodalite, was released.
As a live performer, Jaleesa creates an intimate yet powerful atmosphere that draws the audience close, whether on small or large stages. Her debut concert at Roskilde Festival received glowing reviews from GAFFA, highlighting her strong vocal performance and presence. Jaleesa’s shows are musical stories about finding your strength, keeping your light, and standing firm in yourself. Audiences can expect an experience that moves, uplifts, and inspires them to take part in the journey.
