(Jalen Dilosa) was born and raised in New Orleans, LA. He recalls being first introduced to House music in high school, when one day his then-girlfriend pulled up to his house blasting Crystal Waters’ Gypsy Woman from the car. The sound wasn’t unfamiliar to Jalen, whose grandmother and uncle were gospel singers in the famed Zion Harmonizers. Growing up steeped in the Gospel and Soul-Jazz roots of New Orleans, both often defined by powerful female vocals, Gypsy Woman represented a new context for a familiar feeling. Since this early introduction, Quickweave has been honing a unique House sound which centers feminine energy and vocals backed by tough, swung drums.
