Lincoln Jesser has signed with UTA for representation, a move that suggests the alt-pop-electronica shapeshifter is leveling up from bedroom beat-maker to main stage architect. He continues to be managed by Moodswing, the crew that’s been steering his genre-bending, synth-laced, emotionally vulnerable rocket since he first cracked open SoundCloud with sun-drenched heartbreak.

If you’ve been sleeping: Jesser is one of those artists whose Spotify metrics (currently over 269,000 monthly listeners) suggest he’s not just buzzing—he’s quietly embedding himself into playlists from Los Angeles to Sydney, with New York City, Chicago, and Melbourne rounding out the top cities. His latest release, Quema Quema via TH3RD BRAIN, blends Latin-tinged groove and Jesser’s signature moody pop aesthetic into something that sounds like the soundtrack to a night out you almost regret—but not quite.

A former touring member of Foster the People, Jesser’s got live chops too. He’s brought his set to tastemaker festivals like CRSSD and Splash House, and has opened for acts like Yelle and The Knocks—leaning into the neon-lit pocket between indie and club, where the vibes are high and the BPMs slightly brokenhearted.
