榮獲加拿大朱諾獎 (Juno Awards) 的創作歌手鄭寶欣(Jacq Teh)以令人著迷的聲音編排與無限創意的詞曲創作廣受讚譽。她的嗓音被加拿大廣播公司音樂電台(CBC Music)形容為「夏日微風——溫暖而迷人」，可在團體 Moodset 的首張專輯《Let’s Talk》中聽見她的演唱，專輯收錄了自由的爵士即興獨奏與華麗和聲。她的最新單曲〈Like U〉則將中文與英文巧妙融合，呈現一首俏皮有趣的雙語流行歌曲。鄭寶欣亦為歌手 Sammy Jackson 榮獲朱諾獎的專輯《With You》及最新專輯《In the Meantime》創作詞曲。
鄭寶欣曾受邀於多個重要音樂節演出，包括多倫多爵士音樂節、溫哥華Jade Music Fest、台北Jade Music Fest in Asia、萬錦市爵士音樂節，以及 Jazz FM 的現場直播系列。她的音樂甚至吸引葛萊美獎得主 Anderson .Paak 的關注，對方讚嘆道：「哇，你的寫作風格好獨特！現在沒人在寫這種真正的歌了！」
除了積極創作，鄭寶欣亦熱衷於音樂教育。她現為多倫多大學音樂系爵士聲樂講師，同時擔任非營利組織 St. James Town Community Arts 的執行總監，致力於為多倫多的孩童提供免費的藝術教育。
