Norine Braun is a Vancouver based singer-songwriter who has been called "jazzed up, funk tinged alternative pop." That should tell you how her music defies conventional categorization. Built on a solid foundation of soul, Norine experiments with forms from ambient acoustic pop to jazz and folk. Braun herself is an interesting mixture of equal parts Sade, Joni Mitchell, Bjork and Patti Smith. Smooth one minute and rocking out the next. Its a rare quality, and one that Braun capitalizes on to keep things compelling, a genuine musical chameleon.

Braun has accumulated an extraordinary discography of unpretentious, personal songs anchored by her sweet, confident voice and genteel composition. She crafts tuneful, friendly songs with subtle but effective arrangements, dynamic and graceful and memorable.

Artsy and fun, thoughtful and savvy, Norine Braun will zing to the heart of any listener.
