Sienná

Sienná is a songwriter, producer, keyboardist, singer and experimental music sensation. As a Japanese live-electronic artist in Norway who has performed across Europe and Asia over 10 years, She not only acts as a unique innovator; but also fearlessly brings ‘no rules’ approach to creating improvisational mixes through a command of the avant-garde EDM genre consisting of electronica, house, jazz, and traditional-contemporary Japanese.

Sienná is known for collaborations with renowned artists including Nils Petter Molvaer, a psychedelic jazz trumpeter from Norway, Mick Karn, a deceased English bassist, and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, where Sienná performed as an opening act to the band in the UK on several occasions.

Sienna: A Fusion of Dreamy Electronica-Nujazz with an Oriental Twist

Norway-based female solo artist, composer, keyboardist and singer from Kyoto Japan, SIENNA, is back in daylight to display the brandnew album “Essence" next to the 2 earlier releases. Since her debut in 2005, she has gained underground status due to her unique cultural background and original approach to the modern electronica genre. She takes multiple music styles from freestyle avant electronica, club, nu-jazz, alternative, to Japanese traditional music - and effortlessly re-shapes them into a fusion of moody and flourish ...

"This entire album truly falls into the category of real art. Massively impressed with Sienná’s talent, writing and confidence to create music that’s off the beaten path, but that still hits the mark of satisfaction and then exceeds it by every possible measure. A real highlight for this year in creativity, imagination and the courage to follow the wildest of ideas (Sleeping Bag Studios, Canada)"

"The music is "a richly-textured bed of melodic layers, freeform electronica and jazzy flourishes which becomes the deepest house in the galaxy when the groove kicks in (Kris Needs - Update Magazine, UK)"
