1990–2012: Career beginnings and Star Académie Andee started singing in church choirs, and her interest in music evolved into taking singing and guitar lessons, teaching herself piano, and writing her own original music by the age of 11. Andrée-Anne attended
Cégep de Drummondville, where she studied pop and jazz vocal studies. At the age of 19, Andrée-Anne toured Thailand and Malaysia with the all-girl pop cover band, Akasha. Soon after returning from her tour in Asia, Andee signed up for the fifth season of the televised Quebec singing competition,
Star Académie, where she was one of the top four female finalists. This opportunity led her to working with
Sébastien Lefebvre, from the Canadian pop rock band,
Simple Plan, and singing on the bilingual versions of the songs "Kiss You Inside Out" by
Hedley and "Dum Da Dum" by
Shawn Desman, in 2012.
2013–present In January 2014, Andee signed a deal with
Universal Music Canada for her first album, as well as a management contract with Coalition Music. Andee continued to gain more mainstream success, with her song "We Are Gold" being used as a musical feature during the
CBC's coverage of the 2014
Sochi Winter Olympics. Her first single, "
Never Gone", was released on May 19, 2014, and the official French and English music videos followed on VEVO on June 26, 2014. "Never Gone" peaked at the number 40 spot on Billboard's Canadian Hot 100 Chart. Andee's second single, "Sorries", co-written by
Pink, was released on October 21, 2014. In July 2014, Andee shared the stage with Simple Plan at Brampton's Canada Day celebrations, and later performed at Quebec's
Festival D'ete. In the fall of 2014, Andee supported
Demi Lovato on the Canadian leg of the
Demi World Tour. Andee joined
CHUM-FM's Breakfast in Barbados 2015 alongside pop rock band
OneRepublic in April 2015, and performed alongside Simple Plan for the
FIFA Women's World Cup Trophy Tour on April 30, 2015, at
Much in Toronto. Andee also performed with
Jessie J at Metropolis in Montreal on May 6, 2015 and
Cody Simpson at the
Canadian National Exhibition September 1, 2015. Andee released her debut album,
Black and White Heart, on May 26, 2015. In 2016 Black and White Heart was long listed for the 2016 Prism Prize. During 2015–2016 Andee was the opening act for
Marianas Trench during their Quebec stops for their " Hey You Guys" tour. With
One, Andee returned with a fresh approach to her sound after overcoming a dark period in her life. She shared her journey with
bipolar disorder and
psychosis in the book "Mes tempêtes intérieures" by Vanessa Beaulieu that was released in 2018. This led her in new sonic directions with the help of producers Emery Taylor and Herag Sanbalian, although the focus remained on catchy melodies, sick beats and emotionally charged lyrics. In March 2021, Andee and the cast of Star Académie, reunited for a 10-year anniversary. Whether she is on stage or in the studio, Andee's goal is always to connect with listeners as intimately as she can.
Plus One, is the second of two EPs that will make up Andee's full album under Coalition Music Records.
One, Plus One Equal Us, released on March 26, 2021, comprising both EP's:
One and
Plus One. In February 2024, she launched a new single with the Frères Grand entitled "Quel Dégât". ==Discography==
