JESSIQUOI is a music producer and performer from Australia, now based in Switzerland. Her beats flow somewhere between fresh Electronica, Rap and a hint of Pop. Her notoriety for her ex-tremely engaging live shows is building quickly, with performances at Switzerland’s biggest festi-vals auch as Zürich Openair Festival, Gurten Festival, Lethargy Festival, Swiss national television and her latest single on national radio. In 2018 She was also awarded both ‘Best Electronic’ and ‘Demo of the Year’ a out of nearly 800 entries at the M4Music festival in Zurich. She certainly has ruffled the feathers of the Swiss scene. Most recently she has begun to break into the internatio-nal arena, with shows at Eurosonic, Mondo Festival in New York, Monkeyweek in Spain, plus Waves Vienna and Soundcity, Liverpool, this coming autumn. Completely DIY, she takes the stage with her own hand-made, LED laden wooden wagon, which is an artistic light show display for itself. Then she hits the audience with an effortless combination of dance, audacious lyrics and sweet vocals. As if that weren’t enough, all her material is completely self-produced, inspired by her favourite games, anime, cartoons and books which influence not only her sound but the visual presentation of her work. Jessiquoi likes to abstract versions of herself and put them into stories set in other contexts, rather than write purely autobiographical material. This results in the music being somewhat otherworldly, ahead of its time. In October 2019 she released a debut album, ‘Glitch Trigger’, which was accompanied by a concept art booklet. Currently, she is working on new material, which is planned for release in early 2021.
