Occupation: Bilingual folk chansonnière with soul-searching ballads and a rollicking bluesy flair.
Kristine St-Pierre is a bilingual folk singer-songwriter with soul-searching ballads and a rollicking bluesy flair.
Described as a ‘chansonnière’ with a traveling heart,’ Kristine sings her life with passion, vulnerability and authenticity.
She has released two bilingual albums, followed by a francophone album called La promesse in late 2017. The title track “La promesse” reached no. 2 on Sirius Xm Franco Country. The album consists of six catchy pop songs, all the while remaining true to her introspective and sensitive folk style.
The album received a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination in the French songwriter of the year category in 2018, as well as a nomination for Francophone artist of the year by the Country Music Association of Ontario in 2019.
Kristine is also a strong advocate for equality, taking every opportunity to use her voice and expertise to advance women’s and girls’ rights.
She counts herself lucky for having had the opportunity to perform in several countries in Sub-Saharan Africa as well as most recently in Ukraine.
In the spring of 2018, she embarked on a five-week cross-Canada family tour from Ottawa to Vancouver Island by car with her partner and her two children who were at the time 3 years and 9 months old!
Kristine is currently working with Franco-Manitoba artist Justin Lacroix on an album of French original holiday songs titled “Il neige!”. The album is set to be released at the beginning of November 2019 with concert dates in mid-December.
