JAY SI PROOF

Jay Si Proof was created by trombonist and vocalist Jeff Chilton whose credits include performing with The Diamonds, The Platters, Broken Social Scene, and recording on over 20 albums by Portland based ensembles. Described as "earth jazz alchemists" by Vortex Magazine, Jay Si Proof's original music plays between rhythmic grooves, personal lyrics, and jazzy harmonies, blending the finesse of a Steely Dan record with the aesthetic of old school funk like The Meters and new school R&B like Erykah Badu. Their music has been featured on Portland's KMHD radio and abroad in European and South American new music playlists.

Chibia is a violinist, vocalist, music educator, and lettering/calligraphy artist based in Portland OR. She has earned a Bachelors in Music Education and a Masters of Education from Portland State University, teaching orchestra full time in Vancouver, Washington.

During her time at Portland State University, Chibia was a member of Portland State University's Symphony Orchestra and multiple chamber ensembles, appearing on Portland State University's Chamber Choirs' album Erik Esenvalds: The Doors of Heaven which ranked #1 in Classical Music upon its release.

In the summer of 2017, Chibia joined the band Jazz Boyfriends as the violinist, one of two vocalists, as well as the keyboard player, bringing some of her original works to the table.
