Hello friends !
We will discover the universe of JESSICA WOLFF but especially their new album.

Present yourself to the readers

My name is Jessica Wolff. When I’m off the stage I practice martial arts, do stunts and acting for film and love to do extreme sports. I also work as a personal trainer, nutrition- and wellness coach.
I love to collect experiences of all kinds. Life to me is like a big buffet. You take a little bit of everything and by the next round you know exactly what you want more of.

What’s the story for PARA DICE ?

“Para” means “counter” or “going against the force”. In this context dare to do your own thing. Rather than following everyone else.
“Dice” is the metaphor for taking chances and risks in life. If you never dare to throw that dice and fully try something out you never know how far you can go.
When you connect the words we have “paradise”. Everybody’s goal right ? To be happy. But how can you reach that balance and happiness without taking some risks and going through some obstacles and challenges in life. They’re the ones that teach you who you are, and how can you know what makes you happy if you don’t know yourself.

Your compositions and yourtexts ?..What are they talking about ?..How does inspiration come ?

It can come from a feeling, experience, an important subject or people I met. Pretty much anything. One text for instance tells about Ella, a school bullied girl I’ve been helping out. It’s a song about her story. Another one “The Sunny Side Of The Bay” is about being on tour and missing your loved one at home and how that “spotlight dream” is not complete without that person by your side.

Are you day or night ?

Day 😊

Johnny Cash - At San Quentin
30 Seconds To Mars - This Is War
Biffy Clyro - Opposites

In the shower or in the bath, do you sing ? If yes, your songs or those of others ?

Sometimes, depending on the shower. If it’s a quick one I don’t sing but if it’s a longer one I do sing. Never my own songs though 😂

What's your best live memory ? And why ?

The Heat festival was probably one of the best and one gig I had before that in an old chapel. There weren’t many people but the feeling was so amazing and I got to improvise a lot as well by singing a cappella in Swedish and another song on the piano. It felt like there were three times more people than there were.

In studio, what was the atmosphere for your newalbum ?...etc.…

It was great! I love working with the producer Jonas Olsson. It’s so easy and I get enough space to try things out.

How does it work for the great design of the CD ? and why this title ?

First it’s all about planning out the photo shoot. I wanted to bring out the “Para Dice” theme. So I used my wedding dress and stood on a big dice we made out of a box. I also wanted to bring out the edginess of the music which is easily applied with the right make up and clothes. Ones the photos are there I pick them out and send them to the graphic designer, and give him free hands. I used the same designer for all the three albums.

How was the shooting of the clip SUPERHERO ? and why this choice ?

It was rough and absolutely awesome at the same time. I produced the music video myself so it was a loooot of work to organize everything. I worked for 15-17 hours for two days. The second day we did all the stunt work so felt a bit like a truck had driven over me afterwards. But very happy with the result and the great team. I always wanted a proper fight scene in one of my music videos, but I never had the right song, place and time to do it until now. “Superhero” is perfect for that concept.

With Management and booking, how do you work ? And with whom ?

During these 10 years I’ve worked with a lot of different people and managers as well. However the record labels I’ve always found on my own through musical events. Now I work without a manager but feel I don’t need one because the label in Germany, Metalapolis Records, is so close to me it’s easier to work directly with them than through someone else. They’re more like a family than anything.

Would you like to work with an artist ? If so who ?

There are many artists I’d love to work with, but the first one that came to mind is Asaf Avidan. There’s something about his voice and his music that touches my soul.

What are your projects ?

Right now I have two action films coming out. One in Finland and one in Australia. I’m also about to Finnish my studies at the Actors Academy Of Finland this autumn and a few stunt jobs coming up. As soon as the doors open for touring again it will be my main focus.
