Jesénia Jackson is a Film Composer, Music Director, Orchestrator, & Artist. She has scored several indie films, has written music for fashion shows, served as the Music Director for theatre, and has just recently served as the assistant to the orchestrator on a new Off Broadway musical (TREVOR).

​

In writing music,  Jesénia's style of music is articulate yet complex in rhythmic and motivic features. While many of her works are orchestral and rhythm section heavy, as a film composer, Jesénia's goal is to create music that helps convey all aspects the film and allows the directors vision to come alive. This state of mind has allowed her to create music that branches away from heavy orchestral and rhythm section music to creatively use instruments and sounds to support the film. 

 

As an artist, Jesénia is currently preparing for her first Album release in February 2022. She currently serves as the Women In Music DC Chapter Chair, member of the NY Society of Composers & Lyricists (SCL), piano & vocal instructor at The International School of Music, and host of The Journey Podcast. Jesénia's most recent awards include being nominated for the DC Wammies for Best Advocacy Award.
 

Currently located in New York, New York, Jesénia holds a Master of Music degree in Screen Scoring at New York University (2020). Before attending New York University, she completed her Bachelor of Arts in Music at Spelman College (2018).
