Jazzy
24th February 2024

Meet Jazzy: the Irish singer-songwriter bulldozing billboard charts. This time last year, the Dublin-born artist was working at Tesco, occasionally pausing for selfies when locals realised the superstar stocking their shelves. Nowadays she plays to thousands who sing her songs, word for word and jump in unison to the club-ready anthems.

Before Jazzy soared to number one in Ireland, becoming the first Irish woman in 14 years to do so, the DJ-producer-musician’s life wasn’t so easy. Music provided an outlet where she could escape the difficulties of growing up as a mixed-race girl in a predominantly white community. Joining a local orchestra and playing the violin sowed the seeds of what her career has blossomed into. A teenage infatuation with clubbing followed, as did the drive to DJ in them, and now the fruits of her labour are beginning to show.
