Jane Siberry, born Jane Stewart in Toronto in 1955, writes pop songs the way other people write short films: wry, dreamy, full of odd angles and sudden shifts of light. Her voice floats and teases, and her arrangements shimmer with synths and space.
No Borders Here in 1984 gave her "Mimi On The Beach", a hazy daydream of a song, and The Speckless Sky followed in 1985 with "One More Colour", as bright and simple as its title. "I Muse Aloud" and "Calling All Angels" are among her other hits, and she sang the theme for the television series Maniac Mansion.
Her records have come out on Sheeba Records, and from 2006 to 2009 she formally went by Issa, which she treated as a whole identity rather than a stage name. In 2005 the Canada Council for the Arts gave her its Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award for music.
