Canadian singer-songwriter Vicki Shae began her musical journey
at a young age and has a natural talent to express genuine emotion
in her music. Influenced by a diverse array of artists such as Lauryn
Hill, Michelle Branch, Pink and Green Day, Vicki's contemporary
style is easy to listen to and her soulful voice is the perfect companion
to her solid lyrics.
Vicki was first introduced to the recording scene in 2005 when she
recorded some songs with a Winnipeg hiphop crew. She eventually
decided to pursue an acoustic/rock/pop genre in which she felt more
able to express her style. Her first acoustic demo got local airplay and
she was now poised to start work on an album. In the summer of 2009
Vicki began co-writing and recording with producer Jim Stoeber of
Tegancat Music.
Daydreams and Nightmares showcases Vicki’s versatility as both as
a songwriter and performer. “Mr. Smooth Talker” and “Say Goodbye”
reflect the soulful singer’s r&b roots, the edgy and clever “Wish I Could
Hate Her” pays tribute to her rock influences, and “This Love” and Full
Up” show that Vicki has indeed found a comfort zone in an acoustic-pop
style. In “This Love,” Vicki writes, “It feels like I’m stumbling on an undis-
covered road/untravelled, unfamiliar but I find it takes me home.” And as
she continues to become more confident on her creative journey, she is
successfully carving out her own unique path in today’s musical landscape.
