Artist Biography
Jessy Lanza is an outlier whose decades-spanning inspirations range from synth pop and post-disco R&B to underground dance music such as footwork. A key Hyperdub artist, the singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and producer has released colorful albums of varying syntheses for the revered U.K. label. The first two, Pull My Hair Back (2013) and Oh No (2016), were shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize in her native Canada. All the Time (2020) rounded out a trilogy written and recorded in such close collaboration with Junior Boys' Jeremy Greenspan that Lanza was at a loss to discern who did what, apart from the vocals. Love Hallucination (2023) sprang from a move to Los Angeles, outside songwriting work, and collaborations with a larger supporting cast including the likes of Paul White and Jacques Greene.
