Songwriter of Fransaskois and Albertan origin (with a touch of Quebecois), Ariane M. Lemire has been involved in music and the performing arts since her earliest childhood. Daughter of an actress and writer, a classical guitarist, and a photographer, assiduous of the legendary Edmonton Folk Festival since she had a diaper on her buttocks, she took a liking to musical composition at the age of the other little girls are playing Barbies. As her family travels between Mexico, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec, she combines the influences and experiences that make her an eclectic, original and unique artistic personality. Through her travels and encounters, by dint of relentlessness, the self-taught musician forges a beautiful business card by collaborating with recognized producers and musicians, without giving in to the pressure to correspond to the stereotype of the pretty singer with textural content. nor flavor. At nineteen, the barefoot singer was the first to be surprised to be parachuted into the Festival de la chanson de Granby following her victories at the Gala albertain de la chanson and at the Chant'Ouest in the singer-songwriter category. . A decisive moment for her because, like many francophone artists from the West, she does not recognize herself in the Quebec music industry. She needs to breathe, to try everything, to taste everything. And to assume its dual linguistic nature. This spirit of exploration and independence pushes her even more to create a musical universe: tinged with Latin rhythms, beat poetry, songs with lyrics, to name a few influences; a universe where English and French are allies, if not inseparable. Her greed for words and sounds which led her, at the age of twenty-seven, to produce her first album: soaked in this quest, Double Entendre, a double album, literally, frankly and resolutely exposes the assumed dichotomy that has always guided her pen. 

Everything took off with this album produced by Mike Lent (met years earlier while recording a mock-up of a few songs after her victory at Chant'Ouest). One after another: Rawlco recording scholarship, beginning of collaboration with guitarist Cam Boyce, exhaustive tour of Edmonton bars and cafes, Montreal favorites and participation in the Rencontres qui chantent in Petite-Vallée. After the launch of Double Entender in 2008, shows and travels continue to follow one another: she drags her bare feet at the Tadoussac Festival, flies to the Déferlantes du Cap Breton in France at the Découvertes springboard, finds herself nominated for the Gala Trille d'or as the quintessential Western artist. At the end of this crazy year full of twists and turns, the energetic Ariane won the prize for best French-speaking album at the Western Canadian Music Awards. This recognition enabled him to obtain a second Rawlco grant and to embark on the production of his next two albums, with the help of Musicaction. And as 2009 continues with the intensity of 2008, on the eve of heading to France for Francis Cabrel's Rencontres d'Astaffort, - an otherwise hard-hitting encounter - a car accident knocks her out for just a moment. She returned nine days later to France, then to Nunavut for a series of concerts. Clearly, nothing is stopping him. In January 2010, she launched in Montreal and Edmonton Décousue, her second album, entirely in French. Disjointed by love, overwhelmed by events? Everything is still jostling. She found herself nominated a few months later at the Mayor's Celebration of the Arts Awards in Edmonton, performed in front of hundreds of spectators at the Olympic Games in Vancouver, was nominated for a second time at the Western Canadian Music Awards in the fall, where she was noticed as a guest artist and where, at the same time, as part of Break Out West, SOCAN invited her to be part of its circle of songwriters. While polishing her third album, Wrecked Tangles and Love Knots, which launched in the fall of 2012, Ariane launched her first two music videos; "I am the kind" and "In Passing". "I'm the Kind" won the Western Canadian Music Award for Music Video of the Year.

 His fourth album “Je deviens le loup” was launched in November 2016 with a series of double-set shows with Alexis Normand from Saskatchewan. The album received a Trille Or gala nomination. 

Lover of freedom, Ariane Mahrÿke claims a free writing of feet and rhymes and works intuitively, attentive to her feelings and to the smallest detail of her immediate environment. Ferocious and aerial, she does not force things; she invites them and takes her chance when the time comes. Because for her, life is spontaneous and inimitable. It is important not to wait to taste it.
