JESSMO Gives Us A Chance to “Dance It All Out”

Dance It All Out is the new EP from Jessmo, an artist who refuses to follow tradition and makes the music SHE wants to make. Based in Singapore and classically-trained in both Singapore and London, Jessmo has learned her songwriting craft as both a skilled pianist and singer but has chosen to follow her own path musically, rejecting the expected formula to instead develop her songs to incorporate dance rhythms and beats without diluting the lyrical content. “Dance It All Out” is the perfection of her style, unafraid to show her feelings and emotions, yet remaining strong to her music and her message – it’s cry dancing and it’s a sound which encapsulates the musical world of Jessmo!

Flow-bending artist aSanTIS discusses art, culture, and whether sound can solve the world’s problems in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.
My interview with Amy Santis aka aSanTIS began in the most unexpected way. The Maryland-based flow-bending artist and lyrical storyteller came prepared to engage in conversation around questions I had posed – and she also brought one or two of her own thoughtful prompts based on her curiosities around my view of learning.

This practice of taking in her surroundings deeply through observation and inquiry has come naturally to aSanTIS ever since she was a young child. In terms of her early starts in music, she notes that she began as a discerning listener. “Just listening to music from my mom, on the radio, just being a consumer in the world of sound. But I think mainly, my mom has always loved dancing and listening to music, so that was sort of like second nature. We play music at gatherings, we play music in the car, and these songs are sort of like diaries that take us into a specific place.”
