Ariane Racicot is a Montreal-based jazz pianist and composer who blends elements of classical, Latin as well as metal music in her compositions.
In 2017 Ariane’s Youtube performance of Bohemian Rhapsody went viral earning her an online following as well as 18 million views to date.
She first began her training in classical piano at the age of six, until she decided to branch out into jazz while in her teenage years.
A few years ago, she founded her own trio featuring the talents of Antoine Rochefort on electric bass and Guillaume Picard on drums. This collaboration resulted in the creation of her first album of original music, Envolée released in May of 2022.
“Like many modern piano trios, Racicot seems influenced by progressive rock roots and informed by a classical background, along with hints of fusion and modal jazz. In the middle of all the pianistic vigor—on “Vertige” and throughout—a stunning virtuosity can be heard..”
