Exploding onto the global musical scene with musical roots as diverse as the modern globalized audience, Auresia is poised to take the international market by storm. Taking inspiration from Montreal’s unique pop sensibilities, the soul of Reggae, with her vast worldly flavors, she remains grounded in the best parts of her musical tradition while keeping herself free to innovate and inspire.

Born in Edmonton of Ukrainian decent, Auresia has been singing and charming audiences from the age of three. Her style is a new breed of Reggae for the urban soul; deep roots rhythms swathed in Auresia’s sweet and haunting voice. Through her intricate melodies, beautiful harmonies, a combination of world, Caribbean, soul, r&b, pop flavours and eco conscious lyrics; it’s evident that Auresia’s sound is diverse.



Auresia's show is high-energy and positive while still captivating the audience with her meditative vocals. After years of performing in US, Jamaica, Europe, and after touring Canada from East to West (26 dates in 2009 Canada Roots Tour and 24 dates on her 2010 Summer Canada Love Tour), Auresia has developed a strong global fan base. She is scheduled to perform more internationally later this Fall and Winter in Europe, Jamaica, Colombia, Brazil, Chile and Argentina with the release of new singles and videos: “Quiero Bailar” and “ Fuel Up (on Love)” this Spring/ Summer 2011.

REVIEWS of AURESIA’s DEBUT ALBUM:



‘Auresia’-self-titled album, released November, 2008



"This Montreal singer's debut is a thoroughly captivating disc, with more inventive hooks and melodic touches than most roots albums. When it all comes together on majestic tracks like the Augustus Pablo-flavoured "Jah Goddess" and the heartfelt and focused tribute to her mother, "Echoes of Fall," it's obvious that Auresia is a talent worth watching. Every track on this album is deep and delicious, with bass sweetness and dub-informed production." -- David Dacks, Exclaim! Feb/March 2009



“Montreal has produced an artist who can run the range of Jamaician influence- Auresia. Tunes like “Give a Little Time” and “Jah Goddess” are emblematic of Auresia’s golden-era styled reggae, reaching back to the 1970’s, melodica and all- though she adds in a little contemporary influence, her sweet, soft voice becoming a little less so on a track like “What is Right.” A competent debut from a talented artist who knows how to combine a folk-driven style with the roots of reggae.” 8/10 – Erin MacLeod, Montreal Mirror, January 15-21, 2009.



"One of the most distinctive things about Auresia's music is that although like many singers here and abroad, she writes good and meaningful lyrics, she also has the very rare (at least in reggae) ability to compose and play the music beautifully as well. She is a consummate musician, a skillful singer and deftly uses her voice as one of the instruments in the mix. Auresia is one of the few people left who truly understands the value of non-synthesized sounds and is the first female reggae producer from Quebec I have ever heard, and one of the first Canadians this year to properly orchestrate/arrange a horn section, complete with melodica; Proper!"- DJ Chocolate, Radio DJ CKLN, Toronto, ONT

"Auresia is Montreal's own Queen of Reggae! Her combination of reggae, RnB and roots own her a style that is uniquely her own."- Empress Soul, Positive Creations Music Collective, Canada




“… a stylish and smooth reggae recording that speaks both a personal and universal truth. Auresia's passionate approach to music and life helps explain why the album garnered four nominations at this year's Canadian Reggae Music Awards…”—Francois Marchand, Edmonton Journal, Edmonton, AB
