Exploring Jehnniel’s Authentic Sound: A Unique Voice in London’s Indie Music Scene


Jehnniel, a Filipino singer-songwriter based in London, is doing this amazing mix of Alternative Electronic and Indie Pop. Her voice has this dreamy and calming quality to it but also has this capacity to be more dynamic. The lyrics are just as powerful—they’re like little stories with real emotions, and you can tell she puts a lot of thought into every word. Her style combines a raw indie vibe with smooth electronic beats, and you feel like you can connect with it straight away.

Jehnniel’s process for writing songs is very natural. She normally starts with a few simple chords on her guitar, and then lets the melody come to her—she doesn’t force it. She’ll record whatever comes up on her phone. Then, once she’s got that, she adds lyrics based on what’s she’s feeling in that moment. She even said, “I replace those blabbering sounds with words.” This method allows her to have a natural flow of melody and rhythm. Her songs are a direct line to her thoughts, which makes everything feel real honest.


Jehnniel’s new song ‘Heart Beat’ was co-produced with Roberto Panovski that showcases her talent for tackling  complex matters like prejudice being judged unfairly in the society. In this song, she describes that feeling of being misunderstood. You can really feel it in both the lyrics and the beat, which actually pulses like a heartbeat. In a recent declaration, she compared our emotions to nature, like mountains exploding and we cry like the oceans, in order to highlight how humans are unpredictable but still want to be accepted and understood. This song stands as a meaningful addition to her growing catalog.

Musically, Heart Beat’ carries this 80’s electro vibe that makes you feel like you’re on a late-night drive. In the verses her flow is slower, but then in the chorus, she’s much more dynamic like an actual heartbeat—it just pulls you right into the emotions of the song. Additionally, she showcases here a larger vocal range and the catchy chorus create a track that’s memorable. As Jehnniel continues to explore the intersection of indie and electronic influences, you can tell she’s all about being real and vulnerable in her music. She has a sound and she has a story—a must in today’s music scene.
