Issa(pronounced eeee-sah) (formerly known as Jane Siberry, born October 12, 1955 in Toronto, Ontario) is most famous for her early 1980s new wave hits such as "Mimi on the Beach", "I Muse Aloud" and "One More Colour". Internationally, she is best known for her 1993 album When I Was a Boy.Following the commercial failure of her 1995 album Maria, Siberry founded her own independent label, Sheeba Records. She has released all of her subsequent material on that label. Her public profile has been lower since she became an independent artist; however, she retains a devoted cult following. Early in 2006, she closed her Sheeba office, then sold and gave away nearly all of her possessions -- including her home and instruments.

Nobody ain't telling me
what I can or cannot do
Freedom is a choice
and freedom is gold
Taking full responsibility
for sinking or swimming
But what are you gonna do about money?
Well, I can do just fine with less.
What if you fail?
Well, I hadn't thought about that.
But I guess as long as
it's an interesting ride
that's alright.
But what if people don't like what you do?
Well, then, I guess...
Fuck 'em?
Yeah, fuck 'em!
