Bio
A graduate of the renowned Grove School of Music in Los Angeles, Quebec-born singer-songwriter Maryse Letarte started to learn piano with her maternal grandmother at age 3. It is with «Des pas dans la neige» (Footsteps in the Snow) - an album entirely composed of original Christmas songs - that the singer-songwriter-producer is discovered from a large audience at the end of year 2008. Her two previous albums, «En dedans» (Inside) (2001) and «Le motif» (The Reason) (2004), offer lovely introspective songs. In 1993, Maryse Letarte made a first foray into Quebec musical landscape as a character named Rita-Rita.
A NEW ALBUM HIGHLY EXPECTED IN 2010
With her haunting voice and the unusual light she poses to the world Maryse Letarte signs a modern pop both moving and original. The young woman has opened the door to a universe in subtleties and emotions. She now returns to the production of a new album she had started before "Des pas dans la neige." During 2008, both projects had, at some point, lived together in the singer-songwriter-producer's studio for several months. Eagerly awaited this new album should be released in february 2010.
