Lil Lonely
MONTREAL, Canada
Canadian musician with a digital doppelganger creating 3D worlds with music
Jessie-Jamz Ozaeta aka Lil Lonely is a Montreal-based multi-disciplinary artist whose work reflects on ego and narcissism in the digital age. Lil Lonely focuses on the psyche in cyberspace and how we interact with the internet, unveiling of human vulnerabilities, dishonesties and hypocrisies. His unique use of unconventional narrative structures, pop music, dark humour and satire to create 3D worlds for his music to inhabit. He also creates music for full-length and short films, and has screened at the VIFF and Fantasia International Film Festival. In addition, his photography has been featured in a McGill University Gallery in 2016. Jessie-Jamz is a member of the cyber arts collective and research network Foreign Objekt.
“He has his own digital doppelganger and explores ego, identity and existential crisis, building worlds and creating out of body experiences. Through the digital world he creates visuals and music to take us to places we couldn’t imagine. His work represents an exciting space for artists and new ways to make us imagine ourselves and question our digital interactions.”
