Artist description William Riley, vocal coach: “…You can probably see from her materials that she is a young artist of extraordinary potential. She has excellent musical instincts and a professional level of training in the piano already under way…”

Music Style Ariane released her first album October 14. 2002, named « From darkness to Light ». It would be really hard to compare her music to another’s. Ariane mixes rich harmonies, techno beats, spoken words etc. Every song is completely different, but still you can recognize Ariane’s music. In concert, she delivers her songs, like worlds and intimate emotions, which are revealed with softness and strength. Violence, questions, love or a metaphoric story are told. Words sometimes harsh, sometimes subtle, picture clearly the thoughts of the author. She drops the veils, tells her experiences and her life, she brings us in her universe during one hour and a half of a timeless concert.

Musical Influences Depeche Mode, Sarah McLachlan, Celine Dion, J.S.Bach, F.Chopin

Albums From Darkness to Light

Press Reviews Jeff Tsang, NY Originally Inspired Fusion, Ariane's CD is a collection of very original, well-crafted and beautiful songs. It would be impossible to compare her music to another's or categorize it, as each song is a fusion of styles (techno beats, ethereal instrumentation, spoken word, etc.) and the album a mix of very different songs. Ariane's music is intensely personal. Inspired Catherine Kelly, dramatic soprano: “ …I have heard Ariane and I have seen her presence and grace on stage. I have also been impressed by the audience’s openhearted response to her…” Mark Nicolson, tenor: “…Ariane is a very unique writer and composer. The charm and grace she has on stage have impressed me…”
