Cayenne
Hailing from Quebec, Cayenne performs energetic, introspective and sensitive narratives with accuracy and passion. A blend of feminism, millennial concerns, the search for identity through love of the land, all topped with influences that waltz with musical polyamory. Her first album, SNOWFLAKE, was released in autumn 2022.
