At the tender age of thirteen, Desiree released a CD entitled, All You Gotta Do is Try, which compiled nine original songs. Her song, “My Destiny” reached the Canadian Country Music Charts.
Desiree's music has given her the opportunity to share stages with Charlie Major, Tom Jackson, Susan Aglukark, Rita Coolidge, George Canyon and Jake Matthews. In 2002, Desiree sang the theme song for the North American Indigenous Games, which she performed at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
In 2008, Desiree attended Amp Camp, a professional and artistic development program, which reignited her hunger to do what she loves most – music.
Desiree has fine-tuned her vocals and her songwriting abilities. In songwriting, she joined forces with Ray Martin, Arun Chaturvedi, Bart Dupas, Jade Turner and Chris Burke-Gaffney. The result is a sometimes sassy, tongue-in-cheek, heartfelt album, which was produced by Arun Chaturvedi at Nb Studios and is affectionately entitled, “Soul Back Jack”. Her songs take listeners on a journey of laughter, loss, remembrance and fun. Desiree's vocals are strong but sweet. Listeners will want to get to know this down-to-earth country girl.
This young musician is full of appeal. Watch for her new album “Soul Back Jack” as it is sure to be a big hit.
