Canadian singer, songwriter, and vocal coach Adri-Anne R. draws on her eclectic musical tastes, body of experience, and musicianship as part of her creative process. At age 8, Adri-Anne started composing songs on the piano, and by age 14, was performing at Open Mics around the city, and at a local jazz club. Through her teens she continued to perform at coffee houses and events around Victoria, while accompanying herself at the piano. She was also a founding member of pop-gospel group 100% Cotton, and performed, toured, and recorded with them for 6 years.
Adri-Anne was accepted to The Canadian College of Performing Arts in 1999, where she studied multiple disciplines of Performing Arts, including voice, vocal ensemble, performance, dance, and acting, and she graduated in 2000. She continued to write music as well as record hers and other songwriters' material, and perform around her hometown.
In 2005, Adri-Anne traveled to South America, where she spent five months living in Venezuela on a Musician's Discipleship Training School. As part of a band, she traveled to Jamaica and lived there for one month, performing and working with local churches and communities. By the time Adri-Anne had returned home to Victoria, her desire to be a solo artist had been renewed, and shortly after, she made another move to Southern California to work with a youth music organization. She is currently residing in Orange County CA teaching, counseling, working on her long-overdue solo EP, and performing at Open Mics and events around the area.
