Sirintip

 

Praised for her depth of dimension, multimodal artist Sirintip draws inspiration from a range of styles and disciplines. Her works explore unsung intersections of humankind and the natural world — a focus that drives her curiosity and expands her output. Part ethereal, part impassioned, her vocals move nimbly across sophisticated harmony, soar over dense walls of sound, and pulse through rhythmic modulations. A highly sought studio collaborator, Sirintip has shared her unique sound on more than 30 releases. “I have musical roots in jazz, in pop, in Thai traditional music, and European classical – I’m more than one thing. I just try to share my message and connect with people,” says the Washington Heights-based artist of Thai-Swedish descent. 

As a singer, songwriter and producer, she has released multiple critically-acclaimed leader recordings, including Carbon (Ropeadope 2022), The Lost World (GroundUP Music, 2022) and Tribus (GroundUP, 2018); collaborated on a number of diverse projects, including albums from Bill Laurance of Snarky Puppy, Evan Marien, Sasha Berliner, Kengchakaj Kengkarnka, and The Fur; and produced releases for actor Melanie Smith (Seinfeld), Vincent Ding and FORQ. Her work as a performing artist engages different modalities, including upcoming large-scale installation and VR, among other mediums. She finds intrinsic value in discarded items, often incorporating artifacts and found objects into her live and recorded gestures. While her multidisciplinary works tend to provide listeners an immersive experience, the true goal is providing them opportunities for understanding and meaningful connection. 

Sirintip’s voracious curiosity and high-level musicianship have garnered international grants, awards, and recognition from such distinguished outlets and institutions as Chamber Music America, New York State Council of the Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, American Scandinavian Society, Oregon Sea Grant, Sitka Center of Ecology & Art (Artist at Sea Residency), Swedish Performing Rights Society, and The Royal Academy of Music (Stockholm), among countless other distinctive honors.

In 2016, she opened for Wayne Shorter at the Polar Music Prize, and competed as a finalist in the 2015 Thelonious Monk International Competition. Her music and artistic collaborations have taken her across the world, touring and performing with Snarky Puppy, Mark Guiliana, Benny Andersson, Michael League, Bill Laurance, Robert Sput Seawright, Mark Letteri, James Francies, Antonio Sanchez, Evan Marien, Ghost Note, MonoNeon, Paris_Monster, Becca Stevens, Kate McGarry, Tyshawn Sorey, Elliot Moss, Emily Estefan, Magda Giannikou, Rodney Whitaker, Carl Allen, Vincente Archer, Michael Mayo, Henrik Linder, André Ferrari, Ann Sofi Söderqvist, The Real Group, Ale Möller, Sousou Cissoko, Isabella Lundgren, Filip Jers, Kristin Amparo, Linnea Henriksson, and Thana Alexa. 

Sirintip uses everything she has to her advantage — clout in both the pop and jazz worlds, tri-lingual vocal ability, and the soaring ethereal elegance of her Scandinavian upbringing and the percussive sharpness of her Thai roots. Her desire to explore, though, shines through it all.

Sirintip has appeared at major music and arts festivals and notable venues, including Metropolitan Museum, Guggenheim Museum, Norton Museum (Florida), The Jazz Gallery, the 55 Bar, Nublu, the Stone, Wave Hill Public Gardens, National Sawdust, WNYC Radio, Paste Magazine, WBGO Jazz Radio, NYC Winter Jazzfest, DC Jazz Festival, GroundUP Music Festival, Winnipeg Jazz Festival, Stockholm Jazz Festival, Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Wonderfruit Festival (Thailand), Nobel Museum (Stockholm), Stockholm’s Concert Hall, National Theater Bangkok, Tivoli Vredenburg (Utrecht), and O2 Academy (Bournemouth), among other diverse and celebrated institutions. She earned a bachelor of music from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm; her master of music, from Manhattan School of Music in New York.

Through her work, Sirintip seeks to create bridges of empathy. Her complex cultural background — growing up in Thailand with a Swedish mother before leaving her father’s home in Bangkok for Sweden — provided rare and early insight into feeling othered. As a result, she aims to uncover and create connections through her music and her interdisciplinary works, arriving at moments of greater understanding. Commissioned pieces include “Common Ground” composed for International Day of Peace for Songs 4 World Peace; music for a large, genre-defiant ensemble of unconventional instrumentation for the Royal Academy of Music in Sweden; orchestral arrangements of “I’ll Be There” for Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and “A Case of You” for Malmo Symphony Orchestra; and interpretations for both Nobel Chemistry Prize and Nobel Prize for Peace, among other international works. Her commercial credits include vocal performances and studio recordings for the Alzheimer’s Association and AT&T Discovery District. Her film score for Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1925 feature “Lost World” premiered On Demand and at 19 Alamo Drafthouse Movie Theaters across the U.S. in February 2022.

In addition to touring Carbon in what she hopes to be a sustainable, minimally harmful way, Sirintip will focus her next couple of years on large-scale installation pieces and narrative compositions that explore the carbon clock, and microorganisms, respectively, among other conceptual works; she hopes to continue collaborating with scientists directly, as she did on her research trip across the North Pacific. Over the next six years, she plans to shift her entire creative process into a sustainable practice; this shift includes scheduling more solar-powered performances similar to her June 2022 appearance at Inwood Hill Park NYC, recording at solar-powered studios, printing bioplastic vinyls, and reducing her touring carbon footprint through efficient booking strategies. Sirintip hopes to engage more researchers on her artist path toward becoming more climate change-conscious: “I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can, through art, to make a change.” She’s currently endorsed by Geneverse (solar-powered batteries), Moog Synthesizers, Focusrite, Empire Ears, EarthQuaker Devices, TC Helicon, and Ableton. 

A lifelong arts advocate and philanthropic facilitator, Sirintip co-founded “Live From Our Living Rooms” with Thana Alexa and Owen Broder during the 2020 pandemic lockdown. Together, over the course of three virtual festivals, they raised more than $140,000 for distribution in the form of 100 relief grants and paid performance and education opportunities to nearly 160 artists.
