Tessa Rose Jackson

Tessa Rose Jackson is a songwriter, composer and visual artist based in London and Amsterdam. For six years she released music under the moniker Someone, but as of 2024, she has returned to using her own name for all her creative output.

As Tessa is a film composer as well as an indie artist, her music has a naturally visual quality to it, channelling stories in which the human, the intimate and the fantastical are intertwined. Musically she channels heroes such as Feist, Laura Marling, Nick Drake and Zero 7, toeing the fine line between dreams and reality, delicacy and force.

Her sophomore album Owls released in 2023 evokes a dream-like state with her silky, hypnotic vocal dipping and gliding alongside gently heavy beats and shimmering synthesizers. Intimate and soothing at times, pop-fuelled and ecstatic at others - Someone likes to take her audience on a journey.

Her video for ‘I Guess I’m Changing’, from Owls, was recently selected for Tribeca Film Festival and was directed by David Spearing.

2024 saw Tessa expand her artistry in groundbreaking ways - including contributing five original tracks to the soundtrack of the highly anticipated video game ‘Life Is Strange: Double Exposure’. She has continued into 2025 by releasing a stunning collaborative seven-track EP, A Mirror Sometimes.

The EP is a celebration of creative synergy, featuring a diverse roster of collaborators including Noon Garden, The Shells, Nana Adjoa, Benjamin Longman, Franklin Mansion and Caoilian Sherlock. Her Unique ability to blend her signature delicate indie sound with the styles of her collaborators has resulted in a soundscape that is both richly textured and remarkably cohesive.
