Jaleesa Johnson is one of the most exciting new voices on the Danish soul scene. Her music moves easily between neo-soul, jazz and organic retro sounds, with a timeless feel that still sounds current.
Her debut album Sodalite came out in October 2025 and was praised by critics for its honesty and musical depth. Its personal stories touch on bigger themes such as identity, strength and finding your own voice, carried by a rare, intimate vocal.
Before stepping out as a solo artist, Jaleesa was a sought-after backing singer for artists including Coco O. and Alex Vargas. Her concerts are known for an intense, intimate feel that draws the audience close, whatever the size of the stage. Earlier this year she also played Roskilde Festival's Vega stage to enthusiastic audiences and reviewers.
