Jorane

Who is Jorane?

Jorane Pelletier, born on October 12, 1975 is a French-Canadian singer/cellist, who is notable for her alternative music style on a typically classical instrument as well as her ability to sing while playing cello at the same time.

Jorane's style on the cello has been compared to Tori Amos on the piano. She has worked with Sarah McLachlan for her record Afterglow, among other well-known artists. In 2004, the press also reported that Jorane would appear on a Halloween special of the television series ZeD to perform a "witchy acid cello".

She has released five full-length albums. Her most recent album is Dix and her first mostly in the English language is The You And The Now. She is now working on a web project named "Canvas or Canvass?".

Jorane performed a completely improvised piece inspired by the images she was presented with on a large screen, in Montréal on July 7, 2007 as part of "Montréal Terre", a sister concert of the Live Earth concerts.

Jorane gave birth to a baby boy on 22 October 2006.
