New Artists to Watch – October 2025, as presented by Obscure Agency

JessC

JessC writes with clarity. A Malaysian-born, Australia-based artist, she approaches songwriting as both expression and restoration. Her new album Six Feet Deep marks her first full-length in English after years of releasing work in Mandarin and Malay. It opens space for silence, reflection, and unspoken weight.

The title track moves like ritual. Other songs like 5AM and One Chance shift between restraint and motion, but always return to the core: letting go of what no longer fits. There is no posturing in the delivery. Every word serves the release.

Six Feet Deep is more than a stylistic turn. Written between Australia and the US, it draws on cinematic rock, ambient textures, and carefully tuned frequencies that speak to JessC’s training as a therapeutic musician. Her understanding of sound and its effects on the body is embedded in every detail, without turning the music into theory.

There’s a sense of stillness in her recent visuals too. Low lighting, minimal staging, gestures held long enough to resonate. JessC doesn’t amplify emotion. She holds it in place. This album doesn’t stretch to be universal. It waits, and finds those who are ready for it.
