Sirintip is an award-winning Swedish-Thai experimental singer, composer, and sustainability advocate. Blending pop and jazz with innovative use of effect pedals, she has performed with Snarky Puppy, Mark Guiliana (David Bowie), and Benny Andersson (ABBA), and opened for Wayne Shorter at the Polar Music Prize. A finalist in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition and featured on over 30 recordings, Sirintip integrates eco-consciousness into her art, including solar-powered shows, inspiring audiences to embrace sustainable living through music.

Following her critically acclaimed 2022 release, Carbon, Sirintip introduces "MYCELIUM," her most ambitious work to date. This interdisciplinary suite, developed over five years, draws inspiration from the unseen worlds of fungi and plankton to explore themes of interconnectedness and hope. Through collaborations with trumpeter/composer Danny Jonokuchi (Lady Gaga), visual designer Nitcha Tothong (Lumen Prize Award Winner), and dancer Marie Lloyd Paspe (Bill T. Jones), MYCELIUM merges science and art with data sonification, lyrical storytelling, and vivid projections. Accompanied by a nine-piece ensemble, this performance invites audiences to explore the hidden networks that sustain life, fostering awe and empowerment amidst environmental challenges.

Danny Jonokuchi, a versatile NYC and Los Angeles-based jazz artist, is celebrated as a trumpeter, vocalist, composer, and producer. A performer on two GRAMMY® Award-winning projects, Danny’s critically acclaimed albums and “world-class arrangements” (Broadway World) have earned numerous accolades, including the 2024 ISJAC Wayne Shorter Jazz Arranging Prize. He leads the 17-piece Danny Jonokuchi Big Band and co-composed MYCELIUM with Sirintip. Danny’s works have been performed by Lady Gaga, Nicole Zuraitis, and leading orchestras worldwide, showcasing his artistry on global stages like Birdland and Dizzy’s Club.

Together, Sirintip and Danny bring the music of MYCELIUM to Winter Jazzfest, blending music and science into an immersive performance that highlights the profound connections between humanity and nature.
