About
Jazz Calls Home is the experimental pop project of Spanish-Colombian artist Jazz Alvarado Segovia. Drawing inspiration from artists like Björk and SOPHIE, her electronic soundscapes transform personal experiences into immersive sonic tapestries.
Born in Bogotá, Colombia, into a family of music lovers and musicians of Andalusian, Swedish, and Kazakh descent, Jazz began her musical journey at the age of 3. After early cello lessons and performing in youth orchestras, she became a professional songwriter in her teens. This career path was paused and later resumed after she completed her university studies in film scoring and music production.
Political unrest in Colombia abruptly changed Jazz’s life, forcing her to emigrate to Montreal, Canada. This sudden change became the catalyst for her solo career, driven by the powerful emotions of isolation and loneliness in a new country.
A talented sound sculptor, Jazz blends experimental electronic sounds with genres like glitch pop, fluxwork, and electropop. Her deeply personal lyrics serve as tools for profound self-expression and emotional processing, channeling traumatic experiences and exploring dystopian themes to cope with the complexities of life.
Since her 2020 debut, Jazz Calls Home has released two EPs, an album, and several singles. In 2024, Jazz signed with Rexius Records, ready to share more of her unique soundscapes with the world.
The burden of violence (2020)

The Burden of Violence (2020) is the first EP released under Jazz Calls Home. Born from Jazz’s chaotic displacement in late 2019, the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the failures and abuses of power within the Colombian political system, the EP translates a period of profound instability into sound.
While writing The Burden of Violence, Jazz was diagnosed with PTSD. Experiences of hypervigilance, paranoia and flashbacks shaped the record’s sound, with repetitive, entrancing synths used to evoke the looping and fragmented nature of a mind attempting to process trauma.
No Answer (2021)

No Answer (2021) examines illness, uncertainty and the failures of the medical system. Written after Jazz experienced severe neurological episodes and a misdiagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis, the EP draws from the experience of searching for answers within an overwhelmed healthcare system.
Throughout the record, Jazz explores the isolation and uncertainty of being ill while questioning medical practices, patient autonomy and the role of consent in healthcare.
who i was before I died (2022)

Who I Was Before I Died (2022) emerged from a period of intensive medical treatment that culminated in Jazz experiencing a life-threatening reaction to IV Prednisone while hospitalized.
Drawing from the events surrounding that experience, including over-prescribed medication and psychedelic-assisted treatment for PTSD, the EP explores memory, altered states and the fragmented perception of a particularly turbulent period of her life.
Cut the line (2025)

“Cut The Line” (2025) is Jazz’s second album and longest release to date.
This album explores the some of Jazz’s medical trauma and revisits some of her previous experiences in a sonically cohesive and distinct, expressive sound, that is loaded in emotional qualities and uses the music as a means to process complicated situations.

“Live at Collective Studios” (2026) is an intimate live performance of four main songs from “Cut The Line”.
When health issues prevented Jazz from touring the album as originally planned, she reimagined the live experience in a studio setting. “Live at Collective Studios” captures that alternative, offering a more intimate way to experience “Cut The Line” performed live.
There’s new music underway
Don’t cry about it, it will be ok.
