about the artist
Tessiva
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.
Tessiva explores her identities, writing about depression, local challenges, adversity, love and connection. Now based in Guadeloupe, her talent is making waves in contemporary music and she hopes to share it with the world!
