Jessie Grace** is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer whose music blends raw emotion, haunting melodies, and poetic lyricism. For her, music has always been a survival tool—a way to process the world when words fall short. Her songs explore themes of trauma, healing, and the complexities of being human.  
Her debut album, *Asleep on the Goodfoot* (2009), was an intimate collection of songs that earned a publishing deal and a placement in a Deep River Rock ad.  

She later co-founded *Superhand*, performing as “Inga the Destroyer” in the experimental electronic duo. Their award-winning album *American Teeth* pushed sonic boundaries with dark, immersive soundscapes. After a difficult personal rupture, Jessie took a step back, but in 2023, she returned with new material, recorded in Vienna with producer Filippo Gaetani (Ray Recordings). We heard a more refined and matured Jessie in  "Livingroom Legend"and "Say Something". 

Now, in 2025, her latest work- *Flatline*— raises the question: “When am I going to "flatline"? Bearing witness to, and living through the burning of our planet, tyrannised by corporate murder, war, and ecocide. It expresses the longing for simplicity and truth, when all around us is a psychotic, fabricated, narcissistic illusion.

Behind Uma E is Ulriqa Fernqvist, an artist from Sweden whose strongest expression always has been dance and singing (movement and Volcal Arts). Ulriqa has been working with performing arts for over 20 years, in everything from experimental improvisational concerts to musical installations, and dance performances. Uma E is influenced by the 90's down tempo, trip hop, cinematic moods and electro technical sound scapes. Other influences come from her work in visual art and the performing arts which drives the vision for Uma E´s performances. Together with her producer Peter Svenzon, she runs the performing arts company Art of Spectra that has been invited to numerous festivals, theaters and art centers around Europe. The company has also produced a large number of projects, and is engaged in different partnerships in theater, dance, and opera, with concert halls, museums and art galleries.
Producer Peter Svenzon has a background in hip hop, but since 1999 his work has mainly focused on the installation and performing arts context, joining different artistic worlds together, creating images and atmospheres. A moment's experience has been his greatest interest, something that has followed into the work of Uma E, where textures, moods, and the search for different worlds collide. A sense of multi disciplinary art has shaped Uma E's sound.

“Insubordinately Sublime” -Inigo Wilkins about recent concerts
Here you find songs, sounds and radiofeatures I arrange and produce myself and some I speak and sing for. Situated between postindustrial, sonic jokes and experimental pop-punk.
***ALBUM: https://jcdecaux.bandcamp.com/album/watch-close  ***

I am an artist living and working between London and Berlin and on tour.
Studied post-dramatic theatre and theory/philosophy with a focus on soundart: at ATW Gießen at Heiner Goebbels, Felix Kubin u.o. and as a guest contemporary dance&choreography at CNSMD Lyon.
I love words and sounds, write for theater and run a theatre company putting up music performances. I work with electronic and analog sounds, homemade instruments, voice(s) and fieldrecording. I direct contemporary classical concerts, live radioplays, music for theatre and soundinstallations.
Here on soundcloud you can find some tracks, sketches and experiments.  
 enjoy listening-

about the album "Watch Close":
picadilly records writes: "...sounding a little like an Eccentronic Research Council meets Raymond Scott’s Mahattan Research Inc meets Cluster, this is a collection of poetry, electronics and improvisation woven together like a tapestry and drawing you in like a tense but beautifully shot thriller. Clangers-esque theramin sine tones, ethnic percussion, multi-lingual poetry, mangled strings – a plethora of idents from an all manner of subversive stylings. This is brilliant!"

boomcat writes: "...blur the lines between poetry and tone poem, with Manchester’s answer to Peter Pan coaxing out a gauzy spectrum of eccentric small sounds, lopped beats and radiophonic quarks.."

In 2016 my work was played at Tilde Festival for soundart Melbourne, Radio NY, live concert&interview on BBC Wales, concerts at Oriel-Sycharth Wales, New River Studios London, The Others London, Sonic Arts Forum London, Radio futuresound.fm.
