Jael
Raised in Melbourne, Australia, Jael grew up in a household where music wasn’t extracurricular, but foundational. With a Congolese father and an Australian mother, Jael’s early musical world was expansive. Gospel artists like Kirk Franklin, Tasha Cobbs and Tori Kelly filled the house, alongside traditional Congolese music played at family gatherings. Language, rhythm and harmony intertwined; music culture and memory. Jael speaks about music the way some people speak about inheritance, not as something she chose, but something she was born into. It was always there, waiting. Long before the industry, long before the idea of a debut single or a stage, there was a four-year-old girl standing in church, singing the first song she ever wrote, instinctively knowing that this was where she belonged. Jael has just released her debut EP, Mama Says, in July 2026. Off the back of two 2026 All Points East performances and opening Cat Burns’ October 2026 Australia dates, Jael is ever growing her global fanbase and looking forwards to an exciting new chapter.
