Jesley

Born and raised in South London, 21-year-old Jesley Faye grew up teaching herself how to play all the instruments she had access to. Influenced by the sounds she was surrounded by from rock to RnB and pop to soul, Jesley is a Music Producer, DJ and Engineer. To date, Jesley has had sessions with Aston Rudi, RAYE, Rina Sawayama and Monique Lawz. As a DJ, she has hosted radio shows and sets for Balamii Radio, Reprezent Radio and 1020 Radio as well as having also performed for brands such as Nike and SHAG Magazine. 

Not only is Jesley a well-rounded musician, she is also the Head of Operations and Co-manager of Sai Noir, a magazine aimed at highlighting those in the music industry who are often not seen or heard. With a handful of online releases and work to her name, Jesley has proven that she is a master of many categories. Her body of work ranges from synth-pop all the way to drill beats; as one half of the duo Sista Strange from the age of 16, her sound has developed and expanded as her career progresses. 

Jesley has established her very own lane in the music production industry, all while ensuring she empowers aspiring musicians along the way.
