Festival Terre de Blues

Tessiva is an upcoming singer-songwriter-composer from Martinique and the U.S. Her unique style blends Caribbean influences like zouk and biguine with American jazz and R&B. Her name born from the Italian "tessere" and the Ido suffix "-iva," embodies the essence of weaving. Not threads alone, but connections, realms, songs, realities, and dreams. Her unique tapestry, her métissage, is an ever-evolving creation, nurtured by the interplay of contrasting influences and bridging the gap between the past and present of Antillean music. 

Her compositions, a captivating blend of R&B, Soul, Jazz, and Pop, draw inspiration from a variety of artists, from Norah Jones to Malavoi. Tessiva crafts songs in French, English, Creole, Spanish, and Yiddish, reflecting her multicultural heritage as a Martinican-American artist.
