Jacq Teh
Vocalist, producer, and songwriter Jacqueline Teh is widely recognized for her captivating vocal arrangements and limitless songwriting. Her voice, described by CBC Music as “a summer breeze – warm and inviting”, can be heard on her solo debut album “Waves” as well as her sophomore EP, “Crush”, which blends English lyrics with Mandarin and Hokkien, her mother tongue. Jacqueline is also featured on Robert Lee’s latest modern jazz album “Forbidden West” and jazz/R&B band Moodset’s debut album “Let’s Talk”. Her songwriting can be found on Sammy Jackson’s Juno Award-winning album “With You” and latest album “In the Meantime”. Jacqueline has performed at the Toronto Jazz Festival, Jade Music Fest in Taiwan, Toronto, and Vancouver, the Markham Jazz Festival, and Jazz FM’s Live-to-Air Series. Along with her songwriting endeavours, Jacqueline cares deeply about music education. She is on faculty at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Music where she teaches jazz voice. In addition, Jacqueline is the executive director and choral conductor for St. James Town Community Arts, a non-profit organization providing free arts education to children in Toronto.
主唱、製作人與詞曲創作者 Jacqueline Teh 以迷人的人聲編曲與無邊界的創作力廣受讚譽。她的聲音被 CBC Music 形容為「如同夏日微風——溫暖而富有吸引力」，可在她的個人首張專輯《Waves》以及第二張 EP《Crush》中聽見；其中《Crush》將英語歌詞與中文、閩南語（Hokkien，為她的母語）交織。她亦參與 Robert Lee 的最新現代爵士專輯《Forbidden West》與爵士／R&B 團體 Moodset 的首張專輯《Let’s Talk》。她的創作收錄於 Sammy Jackson 榮獲朱諾獎的專輯《With You》與其最新作《In the Meantime》中。Jacqueline 曾登上多倫多爵士音樂節、Jade Music Fest（台灣／多倫多／溫哥華）、萬錦爵士音樂節，以及 Jazz FM 的 Live-to-Air 現場系列等舞台。除創作外，她也深耕音樂教育：現任多倫多大學音樂學院師資，教授爵士人聲；同時擔任 St. James Town Community Arts 的執行董事與合唱指揮，這是一家為多倫多兒童提供免費藝術教育的非營利組織。
Jade Music Fest is grateful to be held on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). We acknowledge our privilege to operate on these lands, and commit to work with and be respectful to the Indigenous peoples whose music and culture encourages us to better listen to each other.
