Mirabelle Jien
Mirabelle Jien is a singer, songwriter, flautist and composer from Alberta. She holds a Master of Music from the University of Toronto. Mirabelle uniquely blends her flute playing with her indie acoustic folk sound in her covers and originals. This can also be heard on her Twitch livestreams where she is a verified Partner. She streams regularly, every Tuesday (3:30pm) and Thursday (7:30pm) All times in Mountain Standard Time.
Mirabelle is the host and creator of Making It , a podcast that brings together creatives to chat about all things creativity, entrepreneurship, and mental health.
As a composer, Mirabelle has worked on various indie video games, commercial background music, and her own projects. Mirabelle’s most recent composition is called “Overcoming”. This piece was composed live on Twitch as a result of reaching donation goals for a Stop AAPI Hate charity stream she hosted in April 2021. She also worked with Cass. L. Mann on the lo-fi soundtrack for the video game, The Day The Sky Fell. In the classical genre, “Clarinet Quartet no. 1” was premiered at the Calgary Clarinet Choir Charity Concert to raise funds supporting Philkids, a music education initiative started by the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra.
Beyond music, she has a passion for photography and videography. Her short film, “What Is Music to You?” was selected to be part of the Creator’s Offline “Create At Home” Film Festival (2020).
來自亞伯達省的歌手、音樂創作人、長笛演奏家及作曲家。擁有多倫多大學音樂碩士學位，簡婕獨特地將她的長笛演奏與獨立原聲民謠音樂融合在她的翻唱和原創作品中。這一風格在她的圖奇直播(Twitch)中也能聽到。簡婕也是 podcast《Making It》的主持人和創作者，節目將各種有想法的人士聚集在一起，討論創意、創業和心理健康等話題。
作為作曲家，簡婕曾參與各種獨立製作遊戲及商業背景音樂創作，以及她自己的音樂創作計畫。最近的作品名為《Overcoming》，是在圖奇直播上即興創作的，作為她在 2021 年 4 月為「停止歧視亞太裔」(Stop AAPI Hate) 議題進行直播募款，而捐款目標達成的回饋成果。她還與 Cass. L. Mann 合作，為遊戲《The Day The Sky Fell》創作低保真音樂(lo-fi)。在古典音樂方面，她的《第一號單簧管四重奏》在卡加利單簧管合唱團慈善音樂會上首演，為 Philkids (一個由卡加利愛樂樂團發起的音樂教育計劃) 籌集資金。
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.
