"Cleo combines soul, rock, gospel, hip-hop, funk, R&B, and more into a non-genre-denominational sound that perfectly complements this singer’s eccentric and often ornamental sense of fashion." -KUTX
"Chief Cleopatra spins Golden Grooves" -Austin Chronicle
"A love of soul music forms the basis for the stage persona of Jalesa Jessie, but her style also incorporates big rock guitars and synthetic pop beats. While Chief Cleopatra might be difficult to define in terms of genre, one thing’s for sure: She knows how to put together effortlessly listenable songs." -Austin Monthly
"Never afraid to genre-bend and reflect her authentic self in her lyrics, Chief Cleopatra encapsulates the kind of artist meant to play festivals." -Afterglow
"Playful instrumentation framing a sultry, soulful, and subtly-powerful style."
