She is an awake-walking daydreamer, a blurry contrast of multiple styles, an illusionist of the vivid pastel sound, a contemporary traditionalist, and a reflection of the modern crossover cultures. Grooving, flourishing and atmospheric electronica where East meets West in a quirky way: it's SIENNÁ.
This Norway-based artist from ancient Kyoto Japan, composes to tell a dream-like story, plays the synthesizers by ear, sings her heart out, and approaches you with plenty of fire in her belly.
Her live performance is accompanied by Norwegian band consisted of Abòn (guitar), Kristian Wentzel (key.) and Hallvard Gaardløs (bass) with musical backgrounds from funk, blues, rock to jazz. So far, they've created the alternative dancefloor for cool boozers, non-boozers, party-goers, dancing clubbers, and drop-in-listeners in the U.K., Italy, Poland, Japan and Norway. The audience tend to love dynamics of the unique combination.
