Joëlla Jackson is an Amsterdam-based DJ who started her career playing at small parties in the city. She quickly climbed the ranks, becoming a staple in the Dutch scene and making a name for herself internationally. Her sound is defined by groovy beats, deep baselines, atmospheric melodies, and a love for percussion and soulful vocals.
Growing up in a musical household, Joëlla developed a diverse taste from an early age. Her passion for house music started around age 13, inspired by “Dirty House” mixtapes from DJ Chuckie. Her love for discovering new music eventually turned into a desire to surprise and inspire others with fresh tracks.
At 18, while working at a club/bar where she organized the Thurday nights, she got her first hands-on experience with DJing. With minimal guidance, she quickly showcased a natural talent, leading her to pursue DJing seriously. She started playing at private gatherings and soon transitioned to club gigs. During the pandemic, she moved to Egypt and Dubai, playing weekly and refining her signature sound. She mainly loves to play groovy house with rolling percussions.
Upon returning to the Netherlands, she immediately landed major bookings, including Strafwerk Festival, Elrow, and Shelter—where she held a residency in 2022. Her career took off further after joining the agency Meanwhile. In 2023, she released her first track and is now focused on producing music that reflects her unique style.
Joëlla shares the stage with some of her biggest inspirations, such as Loco Dice, TheMartinez Brothers, Jamie Jones, and Marco Carola. She has performed at top festivals like Creamfields, Music On, and Awakenings, and has taken her career worldwide, with shows all across Europe, North Africa, the Caribbean.
