Cat Leblanc

I'm from a small town in NB, Canada. My songs and music are chill and free flowing. I create folk, pop, ambient and electronic music. My influences are Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell, Jewel, Dan Hill, The Weather Station, Björk, Julee Cruise, and Enya.

My recent album, Conversations just dropped. My latest album examines the conversations we don't always have the courage to have with the people who mean the most to us. My album Another World expresses the grief I felt when I lost my only sister. My wonderment and yearning to believe that she is in another place that is more magical than this place flows through the album. I dive into the pull of love and hate, and the poetry of our world and nature that we can't seem to get to. The songs explore my longing to know what the journey of my life means.

My debut album Blue to Blue was born out of my fascination with the bloom of friendship, my belief that there is something out there beyond us in the stars, my need to understand how love can turn into hate, and my pain at how people are treated as they grow older.

My song arrangements are sometimes stripped down to just one or two instruments to support my lyrics and vocals, but I also favour heavily saturated instrumentation that would translate well into film scores.

Being mentored by the iconic singer/songwriter, Dan Hill turned me upside down and inside out. The passion and intimacy in his songs and his warm and kind personality helped me on my musical path.
