Jia

Jia is a Taiwanese-Canadian singer-songwriter from Vancouver, BC. She draws creative and personal inspiration from indie rock, desert rock, psychedelic rock, and dream pop genres. Her work interrogates lived experience and emotions, and opens doors for listeners to process their own forgotten feelings. Her masterful marriage of nostalgic styles, sounds, influences and archetypes are seamlessly smeared all together into woozy, seductive tales of obsession, desertion, and heartbreak— while hinting at events and motives that are far more malevolent and mysterious. She is heavily influenced by artists such as Nancy Sinatra, Alexandra Savior, The Last Shadow Puppets and David Bowie, as well as the films and soundtracks of Quentin Tarantino, most notably the Kill Bill films.
