bio
Caroline Savoie is a 19 year old
singer songwriter with over 90
original songs to her credit.
Inspired by everyday life, she brings
the same crisp, inventive phrasing and
soulful tone to each song, regardless of
genre, making it distinctively her own.
Caroline’s youth, passion, candor and simplicity
bring a soulful breath of fresh air into the music
world, and her reach extends far beyond the
local scene. In March 2012 she was featured
on the cover of Indie Music Reviewer Magazine
(Atlanta, Georgia) for their first Women of
Indie issue, boasting “the distinction of being
recognized over Grammy award nominees &
winners, Rolling Stone Magazine features, VH1
artists, MTV artists, and major festival headliners
who did not get picked for this opportunity”
(making the top 5 out of 2200+ considered).
artist résumé
2013.12.18 v 001
In the Fall of 2011, her songs Chemin perdu and Je t’aime led to garnering top
honors at the Sommet de la chanson de Kedgwick, where she also emerged
with prizes from: the Théâtre Capitol de Moncton, the Festival acadien de
Caraquet, and the Festival d’automne de Kedgwick. She followed up in May 2012
by earning top honors in the Solo category at the Accros de la chanson 2012.
Over the course of two short years, she has performed over 100 shows while being
a full-time student. For example, she played at the Dutch Mason Blues Festival and
performed on a live national broadcast (Radio-Canada) during the Spectacle de la Fête
nationale de l’Acadie 2012. Caroline has also performed in several music festivals like
Vue sur la relève 2012 in Montréal and the Interceltique de Lorient 2013 in France
(where she performed 20 shows in 10 days). Weeklong writing and performance
residencies in Tadoussac (led by Xavier Lacouture) and Petite-Vallée (led by Daniel
Lavoie and Marc Chabot) have resulted in several international collaborations. She’s
shared the stage with artists such as Mia Martina, Radio Radio, Dominique Dupuis,
Annie Blanchard, Lisa LeBlanc, Les Hay

Babies, Jonathan Painchaud, Jean-Marc
Couture, and Valérian Renault, among others.
Self-taught, Caroline learned to play guitar at 12
years old, by picking on one received from her
maternal grandparents. After months of practice,
her unique voice came to accompany the chords.
Caroline has released two CD / EPs, the
English Just Sayin’ (September 2011) and
the French Laisse-moi rêver (March 2013).
This latest EP was recognized by the music
industry, garnering two awards at the 2013
Music NB Awards: Francophone Solo
Recording of the Year and Pop Recording
of the Year. Both of her released radio
singles from this latest EP have charted on
community radio stations. The latest release,
her song Si tu savais, reached #1 on four
distinct community radio station charts.
Despite just turning 19, Caroline already boasts
a vast musical experience since she began
producing songs and performing shows in 2009.
Singing and playing guitar has become
Caroline’s passion; a passion that
already promises a very busy 2014.

Camille Boucher, Télévision Rive-Sud
