about
Jane Siberry (born in Toronto on 12 October 1955) is a Canadian songwriter and singer, best known for her early 1980s new wave hits such as 'Mimi on the Beach', 'I Muse Aloud' and 'One More Colour'. Internationally, she is known for her 1993 album 'When I Was a Boy'. Between 2006 and 2009, she released material under the name Issa. While at university, Siberry began performing in folk clubs in Guelph, Ontario, linking up first with singer Wendy Davis and then with bass guitarist John Switzer in a group called Java Jive. Following the split of Java Jive in 1979, her first self-titled album was released in 1981. For her 1984 second album "No Borders Here" , Siberry mostly abandoned the folk approach in favour of electronic art-pop. Siberry's first hit was the No Borders Here track "Mimi on the Beach". Siberry's third album, The Speckless Sky (1985), continued her art-pop approach. It was another commercial and critical success, going gold in Canada by selling over 100,000 units and establishing Siberry as a Canadian pop star. The album provided another hit single, "One More Colour". For her fourth album (her first for Reprise), Siberry created "The Walking". Released in 1988, it contained a set of intricately structured songs, many of which were lengthy and shifted between narrative viewpoints and characters. Siberry's sixth album, When I Was a Boy, was completed in 1993. Siberry's next release, "Maria" (released in 1995) featured a more jazz-inspired direction wit
