Berlin based artists with Polish roots, Leona Jacewska (formerly known as Charlie) is a prodigy of contemporary synthwave, influenced by EBM, electro and early 80's italo. Her live acts key on hardware - including Cirklon Sequencer, Pearl Syncussion and OB6 - but they also make expert use of coldwave-reminiscent vocals. Her solo output was shaped by the exposure to diverse strands of music, facilitated by her formal piano education, deep engagement with the electronic music scene in Central Europe, long-standing DJ career and the organisation of SZUM parties in Kraków (PL) and Berlin (DE). With her extensive experience as a musician and curator, she has participated in multiple programs oriented at peer- to-peer exchange, mentorship and advocacy, including the Music Moves Europe- funded initiative Venues from the Future, Sonar+D, and Initiative Musik. She has issued two EPs, Cold Inside (Ferry Lane Records 2022) and Spacewoman (Wrong Era 2024) being remixed by David Vunk and italo legend Flemming Dalum. She presented her live acts at renowned festivals such as Unsound (PL), Transmusicales (FR), Fusion (DE) and Noche de Primavera (MX), Tauron (PL) and clubs like Berghain (DE), Tresor (DE) or Closer (UA).
