Tessa Rose Jackson is a Dutch-British singer-songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist who grew up in Amsterdam and is now based in London. Her music weaves together folk, cinematic alt-pop and dreamy indie into something intimate yet wide-screen - a quality shaped by her parallel career composing for film and television. After six years releasing music as Someone, she returned to her own name in 2024 for her most personal work yet. Her third album The Lighthouse (2026) was named Folk Album of the Month by The Guardian and reached the top 15 of the Official UK Folk Albums Chart.
Tessa Rose Jackson released the live EP The Lighthouse With Strings (Live at Metropolis) on 4 September 2026, recorded in one day with a string quartet at Metropolis Studios in London.
She will tour in autumn 2026 with the string quartet format, with shows in Liverpool, London, Birmingham and European dates in December as well.
The Lighthouse, her third studio album, was released on 23 January 2026 and was named Folk Album of the Month by The Guardian (four stars).
She performed a sold-out show at Tolhuistuin in Amsterdam as part of her European Lighthouse tour.
