Jia Lee (1999) is a UK-based Malaysian composer and sound designer whose work spans across films, documentaries, arts, installations and solo releases.
Jia's music is a fusion between classical and experimental field recordings and found objects, which frequently delve into the intimacy of spaces and the forces that dwell within them. Her music often evokes a sense of environment and emotional resonance, reflected in a palette full of lush, cinematic textures and expressive melodies.
Jia has expressed a keen interest in the intersection of different artistic media, and the ways in which these disciplines can inform and inspire one another. She has collaborated with a number of artists and filmmakers to create immersive, multimedia installations that blur the boundaries between different creative mediums.
As a media composer, Jia became part of a collective of composers at Engrave Production Music in 2020, a music production studio, where she has contributed numerous music pieces to a vast array of music catalogue. She Co-Founded and launched a new music production label, Pitch Eminence, with the Director of Engrave Production Music, Rafael Abranches (a modern electronic music label focussing on an auteur approach to music and sonic explorations.) 2021 saw the label’s breakthrough album Introversion and Arc of Sense on Warner Chappell Production Music and BMG Production Music. Going forward into 2023, Jia has celebrated her continuous partnership with Rafael Abranches with their release of Arc of Sense, Kindling and Beats for Daydreaming.
Jia’s first feature documentary work was written as a contributing composer to National Geographic's documentaries When Sharks Attack (Season 8) and Shark Side of the Moon, broadcasted internationally during the Sharkfest 2022 event in the summer of 2022.
Jia’s recent composition projects includes ‘Insert Yourself’, a site-specific installation in collaboration with sculptor artist, Nicola Dale, at PINK Manchester; 'Keeping Company', a site-specific installation in collaboration with artist, Alana Lake, at 70 Oxford Road, Manchester Metropolitan University.
