SIESKI’s delivery is so genuine and relatable that it feels like she’s not just singing a song, but sharing a piece of her heart.
- Nancy Sheppard, Broken Color
Her music has a sonical touch of heaven and mischief. The instrumentals felt electric, and her gentle vocals and evocative lyrics made it entrancing to listen to her.
One of the songs embodying that electricity was SIESKI’s newest single, “Lady Deity,” which celebrates queer feminity and desire. The lyrics are reverent and sensual, laying out intimate, first-touch experiences between the singer and subject as nothing less than divine.
- Kelly Chia, The Peak SFU
