Electric & Acoustic Cellist, Vocalist and Composer
"Jami Sieber plays music on electric
and acoustic cello with a passion that
translates into soul-baring poetry."
--Conscious Choice Magazine
Every so often a musician emerges who manages to speak to the spirit by way of their instrument.
Electric cellist, vocalist and composer, Jami Sieber, reaches inside the soul with compositions that are contemporary, timeless, lush and powerfully evocative.
Her style of performance has been recognized internationally.
She is a celebrated pioneer of her instrument and received the Northwest Area Music Association (NAMA) Award for Best Rock Instrumentalist, no easy feat for a cellist.
Sieber's playing style grew out of her childhood classical training and has expanded over the years to embrace jazz,folk,rock,improvisational and avant garde music.
She has worked in a variety of musical settings that have taken her to China, Russia, Croatia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Italy,France and most recently to Thailand where, while working on a film score, she had the most enriching experience of improvising with the Thai Elephant Orchestra outside of Lampang.
Sieber's music is an atmospheric invitation to another world, a quality which lends itself to film, theater, and dance.

Each of these recordings is a sonic journey exploring the breadth and magic of the acoustic and electric cellos, with compositions that are engaging and full of lush imagery.
Victory Music says, "...these musical paintings hang, framed in her own passion and dreams. If you've ever taken a journey of the soul, be it to another place or your own backyard, this music will play back every scene."
