artist bio
Véronique Trudel is a pluridisciplinary, autodidact and eclectic artist. Influenced by artists such as Emilie Clepper, Fred Pellerin and Cat Power, the singer-songwriter stands out for her ease on stage. Her poetic anti-folk compositions, presented on guitar and piano, explore nature, humanity and love. An idealist, she delves into the inconsistencies within herself and seeks to illuminate the darkness. Without being subversive, she expresses herself with refreshing frankness.
Her repertoire includes a debut EP Après l'hiver (2020), an instrumental single Lever l'ancre (2024) and several songs, including Mon enfant arc-en-ciel (2022). She prefers intimate environments that allow her to create unique moments, imbued with magic and spontaneity. Véronique also explores electronic composition.
Her artistic practice is nourished by a rich diversity of training, from herbology and permaculture to applied psychology and social circus. Constantly seeking new forms of expression and creative interaction, her work encompasses a variety of disciplines and techniques, such as light installations, sewing, phytovideography, zines, creative journalling and clowning. She regularly participates in artistic residencies that enrich her career and solidify her musical network.
Originally from Anishnape territory in Quebec, Véronique Trudel has resided since 2018 on the Sinixt People's tmxʷúlaʔxʷ in Nelson, British Columbia.
