Biography

Beyries was born and raised in the Montreal neighborhood of Outremont. She worked in public relations until age 28 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. While undergoing treatment, she began writing songs to deal with her emotions, and eventually worked with producer Alex McMahon to complete her first album.

On February 24, 2017, Beyries released her debut studio album, Landing. Although Beyries is francophone, the album is predominantly in English, except for the song "J'aurai cent ans", a duet with Louis-Jean Cormier which was co-written by Beyries and Maxime Le Flaguais. Beyries was a shortlisted nominee for the 2017 SOCAN Songwriting Prize in the French-language division for "J'aurai cent ans".

Her second studio album, Encounter, was released on November 13, 2020.
