In 1994, Jhelisa released her first solo album "Galactica Rush" on Dorado Records, followed two years later by "Language Electric", both produced by Lee Hamblin and Jhelisa. Jhelisa's best known track is "Friendly Pressure". Her many collaborations have been with artists such as Jeff Buckley, The Shamen, Courtney Pine, Bjork, Massive Attack, Chaka Khan, Greg Osby, Bryan Ferry, Block 16, Dana Bryant, Block 16 and Outside to name a few.
Touring in the UK, Europe and Japan, Jhelisa shared the bill with the legendary James Brown, Herbie Hancock, The Roots, Michael Franti, Talib Kweli, Roy Ayers, Sting, Arrested Development and Nitin Sawhney. Besides her musical activities, Jhelisa was featured in the Italian film "The Protagonist" starring British actress Tilda Swinton (Narnya, Beach).
Jhelisa has traveled extensively in both Africa and Brazil and has taken inspiration from the rich musical cultures around the world. In 2004 Jhelisa moved to New Orleans to record her new album "A PRIMITIVE GUIDE TO BEING THERE" for INFRACom!. When hurricane "Katrina" hit New Orleans Jhelisa left the city. Her studio and her house were destroyed by the flood and part of the album is lost too. Jhelisa has now completed the recordings in Atlanta. The CD will be sold as a bundle together with the DVD "One week with Jhelisa - Rediscovering America".
New projects include the soon to be released SUNDAY IN ALGIERS A TRIBUTE TO NINA SIMONE, recorded in New Orleans a few months before Katrina, featuring James Singleton on Acoustic Bass, Brian Coogan on Piano and Endre Landsnes on drums. Jhelisa is also a featured vocalist on the new ONE GIANT LEAP CD/DVD.
