Tessellated

With Jamaican influence on international music inescapable in the current era, a new wave of exciting artists is emerging from the Caribbean island. One artist leading the charge for this global assault on the music industry is Tessellated, a multi-talented 24 year old Grammy & Emmy artiste/producer from Kingston who burst onto the scene in 2017 with his bona fide Caribbean hit collaboration – Pine & Ginger.

Citing influences from many genres, a unique blend of styles and sounds shapes the backdrop for Tessellated's musical endeavour. Through this, he aims to push forward a fusion of Jamaica’s roots presented alongside other world genres. With this original style, Tessellated has now carved out a lane of his own already garnering support from music industry heavyweights such as Camila Cabello, Lily Allen, Shaggy, Diplo, Major Lazer, Jorja Smith, Dua Lipa, P. Diddy and more.

Continuing the trend of breaking boundaries, in 2019 Tessellated picked up a huge sync deal for his track ‘I Learnt Some Jazz Today’, a fusion of jazz, dancehall & hip hop, with Apple for their film ‘Bounce’ created for the release of their new AirPods. After its release, the song saw massive support worldwide, racking up several million plays in a matter of months and going #1 on the Jazz Billboard Chart, a first for a Jamaican artiste. In 2020, the spot went on to earn Tessellated an Emmy Nomination in the category of Outstanding Commercial.

In late 2020, Tessellated released his debut project ‘Tropics Vol. 1’ which since its release has garnered millions of streams worldwide and is counting to grow.

As a producer, Tessellated is also no newcomer, alongside self-producing his own records, his production has been featured on records from Tobi Lou, Jada Kingdom, Walshy Fire (of Major Lazer) and most recently Spice’s album ’10’ (executive produced by Shaggy) which secured him a Grammy nomination in the category of Best Reggae Album.
