About

Jessica Manuputty grew up in the Netherlands, far from the Moluccan islands that her grandparents once had to leave behind. But they brought the music of Maluku with them: traditional folk songs with rhythms like the swell of the waves and melodies like a warm breeze on the beach. For as long as Jessica can remember, these Lagu Lagu have been performed in her family's living room in three-part harmony.

Her innate love and talent for music brought her to the Utrecht Conservatory. After graduating, she established herself in the Dutch soul/pop scene, performing with international acts such as Jett Rebel, the Metropole Orchestra and Jacob Collier. She has since graced the stages of renowned festivals and venues, including Paradiso, Lowlands, Pinkpop, and North Sea Jazz.

But the nostalgia for the island of Ambon had settled deep into her DNA. It formed the inspiration for her debut album in 2017 (TOMA!), and in March 2023 she released the long-awaited follow-up Toma Terus. With her own band, Jessica has played in theaters and at festivals, and even traveled back to Maluku to perform there, bringing her music full circle to the land that inspired it.

Accompanied by guitar, ukulele, bass, percussion and two backing vocals, Jessica proves to be a skilful and soulful interpreter of the music of her ancestors. She tenderly tugs at the heartstrings of her listeners, leaving them with a blissful sense of sweet nostalgia for a beautiful place far away.

Currently, Jessica is working on new music, which she is expected to release in 2026. Stay tuned.
