Show Description

"A superstar of the imagination with a passion for the truth." - Interview Magazine



When she was sixteen, Issa, (formerly known as Jane Siberry ) traded marbles, make-up and sang harmonies in school washrooms with girlfriends. Thirteen recordings and five Juno nominations later, Issa has become internationally known for her angelic and filmic music. The Canadian art-pop chanteuse has absorbed classical and operatic inspirations along with pop, jazz and sacred music to create a personal style that spotlights ethereal vocal navigations through eccentric rhythm changes and dramatic mood shifts, ornamented by an abstract, atmospheric sound. Her recent Jane Siberry Anthology (Sheeba) offers a wide retrospective of her music and includes the song 'Love Is Everything', recently covered by k.d lang on a collection of songs by her favorite writers.



Sometimes, luck plays a part when a young artist is fortunate enough to achieve a moment in the musical spotlight. For Adrienne Pierce, however, the incredible list of accomplishments that have happened in her young career make one thing very clear: her successes to date are not based on luck. Those achievements are a result of the sheer strength of her artistry as a singer/songwriter, creating a compelling response not just from fans, but also from participating musicians and world-class producers who have joined her along the way.
