With her mellifluous voice and accents of Soul, Aude Ray has been composing Indie/Jazz/Folk songs since she was 17 years old. She was born on an autumn evening in 1983 in Quebec, where the Richelieu River flows into the St. Lawrence. She grew up expressing her dreams through music, dance and the visual and dramatic arts. From a very young age, she was innately at ease on stage.At the age of 19, in collaboration with her band, she independently organised her first concert/album as singer-songwriter-composer and she also created the design and the stage sets. “Bing Bang”, professionally recorded in front of a live audience at the P'tit Medley in Montreal in 2002, was distributed in 400 copies. After her studies in stage acting at the Conservatoire Lassalle in Montreal, she longed for freedom and found it in the heart of the Canadian Rockies in Banff, Alberta. Over the next two years, her horizons expanded, as she met musicians and artists from all over the world who inspired her to spend a year travelling in Europe, in particular Sweden, England, Scotland and Ireland, where she continued creating music and sharing it wherever she went. For the past three years, she has been living between the sea and the mountains in British Columbia, moving between Powell River, Vancouver and Whistler, to finally settle down in Victoria, on Vancouver Island. The music she creates is inspired by all of her emotions as well as the magic of this harmonious landscape, reflected in her unique poetic melodies full of sweetness and integrity.
