First stepping into the studio at just fifteen, the singer-songwriter dove into music with lyrics she penned during childhood—an introduction to recording that was as raw as it was transformative. Today, Jamila’s work reflects not just her artistic evolution but the complex, border-blending identity she’s shaped through music.
The Sound of Many Worlds
To describe Jamila Hache’s sound as experimental pop would be accurate—but only partially. Her music is more like a sonic passport, where influences from Lebanon, Spain, and even China echo through layered beats and emotional storytelling. “I love exploring the sounds of places I’ve connected to in my life,” Jamila shares. Whether it’s the flamenco she danced to growing up or the erhu sounds she absorbed while living in China, her tracks resonate with cultural textures few artists dare to weave into pop.
But it’s not just about geography—it’s about emotion. “A lot of my lyrics come from things I wish I’d said,” Jamila explains. Her songwriting turns unspoken thoughts into melody, offering catharsis not just for herself, but for anyone who's ever wished they’d had the right words at the right time.
Built from Influence, Grown with Intention
Raised on artists like Shakira and Niña Pastori, and inspired by modern names such as Lorde, BANKS, and Rosalia, Jamila’s musical DNA is as eclectic as her sound. Her track record is already impressive: a full 13-song album at the age of fifteen. While she modestly brushes it off as something she didn’t fully grasp at the time, it’s a clear marker of her early dedication and potential.
Visual storytelling is another layer of her artistry. Whether it’s the Chinese symbolism in “Contra el Suelo” or the anticipation of a forthcoming video for her latest single “No Mas,” visuals serve as an extension of Jamila’s world-building. “The visuals are usually related to those places or people,” she says, hinting at the deeply personal process behind her imagery.
What Comes Next
Jamila’s view of her growth is grounded and intentional. “Every project I’ve made reflects who I was at the time,” she says. Her evolution isn’t tied to industry trends, but to her own artistic instincts. She’s not looking to settle into a signature sound—she wants to keep pushing boundaries. “I want to keep evolving, keep experimenting, and let the music grow with me.”
And though she hasn’t performed live in a while, her memories of being on stage are electric. “The bigger the crowd, the better,” she says. There’s a certain magnetism in how she describes the live experience—not as a performance, but as an energy exchange.
A Message in the Music
For Jamila, music isn’t just about what’s heard—it’s about what’s felt. Her advice to other aspiring artists? “Make art because you care, and share it like you don’t.” It’s the kind of mindset that doesn’t just fuel creativity, but also shields it from the noise.
With a catalog rooted in personal truths and a voice unafraid to explore new terrains, Jamila Hache is more than just an up-and-coming name—she’s a growing force in a genre of her own making. And if her journey so far is any indication, the best chapters are still being written.
