Twenty-nine-year-old British-born Essie Jain makes her recorded debut with the glacial delights of We Made This Ourselves, an album whose quiet, powerful minimalism is undeniable.

Born into a musical family, Essie grew up in London, where her childhood featured classical piano and cello instruction, as well as training in operatic singing. By the time she moved out of her teenage years, Essie had suspended her musical education.
“I had to cut music out my life for bit to hit the re-start button. I think everyone in my family was pretty upset with me at that point, but I always knew music would end up back in my life, and it did.
“In my early twenties, I went through a really complex and difficult year personally – I found it really hard to speak to anyone about the things I was dealing with, and I needed a way to express it. That’s where music crept its way back in.”
