Bio: Cœur de pirate is Béatrice Martin, a young woman who has played the piano since she was 3. After five years of conservatoire, she felt the urge to write her own songs to express her feelings, emotions and experiences and was quickly recruited by band Bonjour Brumaire as keyboard player. However, in Spring 2008, she decided to concentrate on her solo project, Cœur de pirate, inspired by the music she grew up to (French and folk music). With only 4 shows on her tour book and a little help from Myspace, she signed with Grosse Boîte (Dare To Care) and spent the summer recording her first album and playing festivals such as Les Francofolies de Montreal and Osheaga. Her first album was released on September 16th and acclaimed by critics (including superstar blogger Perez Hilton).
