Jane Siberry ( , born Jane Stewart, 12 October 1955 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian singer-songwriter, known for such hits as "Mimi on the Beach", "I Muse Aloud", "One More Colour" and "Calling All Angels". She also performed the theme song to the television series ''Maniac Mansion''. Siberry has also released material under the name Issa ( ) – an identity (as opposed to a simple stagename) which she used formally between 2006 and 2009. On 30 August 2005, Siberry was awarded the 2005 Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award in music by the Canada Council for the Arts. She is a vegetarian.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= GoVeg.com // Carrie Underwood and Kevin Eubanks Voted World's Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrities )〕 ==Musical style and commercial approach== Siberry's music is most commonly compared to artists such as Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell and Laurie Anderson. She has drawn from a wide variety of styles, ranging from new wave rock on her earlier albums to a reflective pop style influenced by jazz, folk, gospel, classical and liturgical music in her later work. She has cited Van Morrison and Miles Davis as being strong creative influences. Siberry has often criticized the competitive power of commercial radio and the recording industry.〔Adria, Marco, "Very Siberry," ''Music of Our Times: Eight Canadian Singer-Songwriters'' (Toronto: Lorimer, 1990), p. 126.〕 In 2005, Siberry pioneered a self-determined pricing policy through her website on which the purchaser is given the choices of: standard price (about $0.99 USD/track); pay now, self-priced; pay later, self-priced; or "a gift from Jane". In an interview with ''The Globe and Mail'', Siberry confirmed that since she had instituted the self-determined pricing policy, the average income she receives per song from Sheeba customers is in fact slightly ''more'' than standard price.〔Gill, Alexandra (30 September 2006).
