Shooting Star🌠

In a world that's often too loud for its own good, there's Jubile3 Le3. She's the electronic symphonic artist who's half deaf but all heart.

Jubile3's life is a Gatsby-esque whirlwind of adventure, filled with the glitz of models, the glamour of parties, and the spontaneousness of travel. But, unlike Carmen San Diego, she's more than the sum of her escapades. A romantic distance with a Trans model named Sauce, and it's this love that infuses her music with a depth that echoes beyond the notes. She believes music can be more than just a reflection of the times, it can be a force for positivity.

Jubile3 Le3's latest musical offerings, "10 Out of 10" and "Efflorescence," cand be found on her Sound account. But for those who seek an even closer encounter with her artistry, Jubile3 offers exclusive content on Trax, a haven for musicians and music enthusiasts who appreciate the value of a deeper, more intimate musical experience.
