Swiss-born, New York-based artist JessUblime is not just a musician—she’s a poet, philosopher, and architect of sonic daydreams. Her music, a hypnotic blend of electronic experimentation and pop sensibility, exists in the liminal space between reality and reverie—what she calls “trance states.”

Growing up in Switzerland, JessUblime (born Jessica) spent her early years writing poetry, screenplays, and short stories. But her creative universe expanded when she received music software for Christmas—a gift that unlocked her talent for composition. Teaming up with a patient mentor-turned-producer, she crafted her debut album, Extravaland—a project that dissolves the mundane into euphoric soundscapes.

“My lyrics might describe everyday life, but the music erases it,” she says. “Like addiction, sound can transport you somewhere else.”

Inspirations

Observation: “Colors, shapes, and people—I absorb the world through all my senses.”
Nature: “The sea, mountains, and especially orchids. Nature is my silent collaborator.”
Romance: “Physical closeness ignites my imagination. Love is the ultimate muse.”
Musical Range: From Janis Joplin’s raw soul to Lil’ Wayne’s bravado, her influences defy genre.

The "Streamative" Sound

Rejecting labels, JessUblime coins her style “Streamative”—neither mainstream nor alternative, but a fluid fusion of both. “Software lets us merge styles at will,” she says. “I want people to dance joyfully, to forget their troubles. My music is an escape hatch.”

Currently working on her second album, she embraces creative freedom: “I’ll go where my audience leads me.”

NYC:

Moving to New York to study Philosophy at The New School, JessUblime found a city that mirrored her restlessness. “NYC taught me to be independent, competitive, and relentlessly curious,” she reflects. “It’s my upper—this city fuels me.”

Yet, she remains an introvert at heart. Her first live performance was a triumph over shyness: “I never thought I’d sing my songs in front of people. But there was no turning back.”

Style:

A self-proclaimed tomboy with a slick aesthetic, she swears by Lagarconne.com for “manly yet feminine” staples: blazers, button-ups, and Beatle Boots. “I refuse to fight over leopard-print dresses in crowded stores,” she laughs. “I’d look like a giraffe in stilettos anyway.”
