Barron S Startin' From Scratch CD

Barron S started her singing career in the kitchen of a basement suite; recording vocals through a cut up pair of panty hose into a $30 dollar microphone. Here is her story
 Born and raised in small town Nova Scotia, she was always inspired by music, and first began exploring this passion through dance.Barron S enrolled in an intensive training program at a local dance studio and soon found that anytime she wasn’t at school, she was in the dance studio. When she graduated from high school she moved across the country to Vancouver, British Columbia to attend Simon Fraser University’s acclaimed modern dance program. As Barron S was nearing graduation and was well on her way to a professional dance career, she became a victim in a high velocity impact car accident. In one life changing moment she suffered career ending injuries. The accident led her into a downward spiral of weight gain and depression which pulled her further and further from her performance career.After much rehabilitation it became clear that Barron S wasn’t able to dance professionally anymore, so she started to take vocal lessons as an artistic outlet. She practiced and trained until one day a light switch turned on inside her and she realized that this must be her true calling. Since that moment Barron S hasn’t looked back, she focused all her efforts and began writing, recording and sculpting a career for herself in the music business. Hip hop artists the Sketch Bros described her as “one of Canada’s hardest working artists. In one year Barron S accomplishes what most artists achieve in four”. Her music has been described as a cross between The Cranberries and Garbage, after 20 cups of coffee. Her style crosses genres, but her signature sound is funky, dance rock fusion. Her album takes the listener on a ride, as each song is truly unique from the next. Some tracks include metal-like instrumentation with edgy dance beats, while others are funky sounding acoustic guitar based tracks. “Barron S uses captivating lyrics and catchy melodies to attract a variety of audience members. She is truly a talent to be reckoned with” - Jesse Day (Show promoter for SPM Music)Barron S’ debut album ‘Startin’ from Scratch’, was released Fall 2008 and she has now joined forces with another singer/songwriter, Tara Lett for an upcoming Canadian tour scheduled for Spring 2008.
