SIESKI is an auditory odyssey that heightens your senses and leaves you with an insatiable craving for more.
-Earmilk
A queer theatre artist turned alt-pop siren, SIESKI weaves storytelling, movement, and melody into immersive worlds that feel both intimate and otherworldly. Her alluring vocals and melodies flow and swell, absorbing the listener in what York Calling describes as ‘a rich and innovative atmosphere.’
Like a 'modern day Beth Orton, but also more contemporary projects like Magdalena Bay,’ (Music Connection Magazine) SIESKI is an enigma redefining what alternative pop can feel like.
Highlights include her queer-femme anthem “Lady Deity” (featured in the Vizzybility Project curated by Canada’s Drag Race winner, Priyanka), FACTOR-funded music video “Scale Model,” and features on CTV’s etalk, CBC Music (Afterdark), Telus Optik TV’s Dandyland Series, The Georgia Straight, Women In Music’s Shatter the Glass and Exclaim!’s The Eh! List.

Press
SIESKI’s electro-pop/synth-pop vibe is instantly attractive, from the moment we hear the pulsing beat and insistent melody on ‘Gumdrops’
Think classic female-fronted acts such as Goldfrapp, but also more contemporary projects like Magdalena Bay and Sofi Tukker.
‘Lady Deity’ is better still- a sultry, brooding statement of intent. This strong woman knows what she wants and what she likes.
Her voice is evocative and emotional, while maintaining a level of chill like a modern Beth Orton or Beth Gibbons. All the while, the electronic backdrop is exemplary. Never intrusive, the music frames the vocals.
- Music Connection Magazine
There’s really no-one else much like her out there.
- York Calling
An alt-pop electro powerhouse and captivating sonic storyteller.
- The Q Reviews
SIESKI’s delivery is so genuine and relatable that it feels like she’s not just singing a song, but sharing a piece of her heart.
- Nancy Sheppard, Broken Color
Her music has a sonical touch of heaven and mischief. The instrumentals felt electric, and her gentle vocals and evocative lyrics make it entrancing to listen to her.
- Kelly Chia, The Peak SFU
