Joëlla Jackson, A rising DJ based in Amsterdam.
Her carreer has started by playing at small parties in the capital city.
She quickly found her way to bigger gigs and now she is indispensable on the Dutch line- ups.
Joëlla grew up in a household with a lot of music, especially old soul and disco. Because of the diversity of music that she heard on a young age, she could appreciate a lot of different genres.
Her love for house music started when she was about 13 years old and she actually didn’t had a lot of peers who were also interested in the same music. By that time she was introduced with house through “Dirty house” with mainly music from DJ Chuckie, with mixtapes on her MP3 she went on the bike to school.
Eventually when she was a bit older, she started to dig in music more and more and so she found more styles within the genre of House music.
The search to new music was always something she was busy with and so it isn’t a big surprise together with her general passion for music that she is doing what she does now.
It didn’t take long before a friend saw her talent and gave her a chance to play in a club in Amsterdam. It was a full house and afterwards she got all compliments and actually from that moment on she knew this is what she wanted to do.
She never stopped and did everything on her own, even during corona she went abroad to play cause she didn’t want to stay in a locked down country since she was just in a nice flow.
When she came back and corona was over, she showed Holland what she was about.
She gained a lot of gigs and played on events like Strafwerk festival, Elrow and now is also a resident of one of the best clubs, Shelter Amsterdam. Besides that she also took it abroad and played in Italy, UK and Bali.
Joëlla is found on line-up with top DJ’s like Loco Dice, Jamie Jones, Marco Carola, The Martinez brothers and more.
With her good mood and big smile she is achieving goals she dreamed of and still keeps rising.
