Filipino-Ghanian artist Jewel Owusu has released her music video for “spark,” set in a late-night club haze. The visual companion follows Owusu as she navigates the crowded dance floor, barely keeping up with the frenetic energy and people around her. The video evokes the sensory experience of being in a club but completely alienated from its lively, bustling vibe. Owusu describes it as feeling like she’s moving through space in an alternate reality.
A notable motif woven throughout the music video is the recurring imagery of a mouse—a symbol Owusu has revisited across her work.
“To me, it symbolizes feeling small, finding ways to survive, and creeping through spaces—themes that often reflect my experiences,” shares the Australian-based electro-pop newcomer. “Lately, people have even been saying that mouse girl winter is in full swing, which I love because it shows that the idea has grown beyond me and taken on a life of its own.”
With “spark,” Jewel Owusu continues to carve out a distinct voice in contemporary electro-pop that thrives on vulnerability and refusal to conform to expectation.
“Spark” will be part of Jewel Owusu’s upcoming new EP, which is set to be released sometime this year. Late last year, she captivated audiences with the propulsive but minimalist track “Time Machine,” which features acclaimed Filipino singer-songwriter and producer Ena Mori.
Jewel Owusu has always felt like she lives in the space in between—between sounds, between cultures, and between versions of herself that are constantly shifting. As a Filipino-Ghanaian artist and producer, she’s forging a new path in alternative electronic pop—one that’s as unfiltered and dynamic as she is.
Born in Hong Kong and raised in New Zealand, Jewel’s music is a melting pot of influences. Combining elements of electronic, dance, indie pop, rock, and more, her sound blends every experience that inspires her. Now based in Melbourne, Australia, Jewel has been garnering eyes through international shows, showcases at SXSW Sydney and Music Matters in Singapore, national tours, and an overflowing headline show.
She has been recognized as an artist to watch, won Triple J Unearthed’s collaboration competition, and caught the eye of major outlets such as Rolling Stone, Complex, Colors Studio, MTV, Triple J, and TikTok. In Jewel’s world, music and visuals are more than just art—they are spaces for transformation and self-expression, where imperfection is welcomed and celebrated.
