Jordana LeSesne is an American musician and producer from Pittsburgh. In the 90s, she established herself as one of the early pioneers of U.S. Drum and Bass, releasing a few albums for the New York-based Jungle Sky label as well as a plethora of singles and remixes. 

Her introduction to electronic dance music came in 1988 when she began listening to BBC broadcasts featuring reports on the rise of acid house music. It wasn't until the early '90s that dance music crept into Pittsburgh, and Jordana began frequenting many of the city's first rave-like parties and soon began making dance music of her own. 

Her first signed work was an atmospheric Drum and Bass remix of Blondie's "Atomic" in 1995 for EMI/Chrysalis. Liquid Sky Music then started releasing her music in 1996, beginning with the compilation track "Dis Soun'" featured on This Is Jungle Sky, Vol. 2. The New York label also released a few murderous albums in the subsequent years, beginning with When Worlds Collide (1997) and continuing through Quality Rolls (1998) and The Cities Collection (2000). The Cities Collection was released under the Jordana name, though her record label ignored her wishes for the change and mainly pushed “1.8.7.” She now considers 1.8.7 a deadname. She currently has 3 self released albums out available on bandcamp and a collaboration with Mimi Page and ill.Gates.

As both a producer and DJ, Jordana has toured the world as a headliner. She has also worked with artists such as Mike Joyce (formerly of The Smiths), Debbie Harry and Blondie, Lady Sovereign, MC Kinky from London/ffrr, Yellownote and TC Izlam from Liquid Sky Records. In England she played Garage as Lady J on Flex FM. 

Jordana has been featured or appeared in Spin, Rolling Stone, Knowledge (UK), Vibe, Raygun, Urb, Mixmag and Out Magazine and has been listed in Raygun's "Who's Who of International DJs". She also made Out Magazine's OUT100 in 1999. 2014 saw her named in Harriet magazine as "12 women in black music history you should know".  In 2015 Mixmag named her as "20 women who shaped the history of dance music".

In 2014, Jordana scored the documentary Free CeCe produced and directed by Jacqueline Gares and actress/director Laverne Cox. Jordana has dedicated her career to speaking publicly about trans issues and Black Lives and has been featured in several cultural books including New York Times bestseller ‘The Rise of the Creative Class’ by Richard Florida, Michaelangelo Matos’s ‘The Underground is Massive’ and ‘Rave Culture, an Insider’s Overview’ by Jimi Fritz and Virginia Smallfry. This work is close to home for Jordana as she’s a hate crime survivor herself.

Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, Jordana returned with the politically-charged single ‘Fight For Our Lives’ (work-in-progress) and a handful of newer productions, teasing a full-album release. She also released ‘The Uprising’ DJ mix to Mixcloud and DJ’ed part of Kremwerk’s online Pride celebrations as well as on Seattle, London and LA radio. In addition she performed at Seattle’s “Drum and Bass Tuesdays” Livestream as her debut appearance which is the longest running D&B weekly event in the world.

2021 has already seen her be invited by the prolific festival and brand Dekmantel to contribute to their podcast series and headlined on a lineup with Arca for Currents.fm as a part of Un/Tuck and Hot Mass. Additionally she appeared on EQ50 Black Herstory stream which, supported by DJ Flight from the UK and DaFunkNYC was the first all black woman junglist lineup to perform together in North America. She contributed a mix to the Daisychain Podcast out of Chicago. Her original productions first aired on BBC Radio 6 during this year.
