Jia w/ Yalene

Jia is a Taiwanese-Canadian indie/alternative artist and singer-songwriter from Burnaby, BC. Her music is a seamless blend of dark western, earthy americana, dream pop and indie rock, inspired by her love for films by Tarantino, Wong Kar-Wai, and David Lynch. She has been building momentum amassing over 1M streams across all DSP's, and her most recent independently released singles, Love like a Rolling Pin, and Playground Heart, being played on KEXP, CBC, and featured on Spotify and Amazon Music Editorial playlists. Artistic influences include Francoise Hardy, Alexandra Savior, Mitski, Nancy Sinatra, Arctic Monkeys, Mazzy Star, and Big Thief. She will be releasing new singles early next year as part of her first upcoming album.

Her debut EP, "The Melting of the Moon," was recorded at Monarch Studios in Vancouver, BC with City and Colour's band, and three-time Juno-nominated producer Olivia Quan.

Her work has been praised in the press, ​being named one of “Six undercard acts that will make your Khatsahlano music experience complete” by The Georgia Straight. And Darryl from the Tinnitist writing, "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."
