About Sala
Alternative‐pop artist Sala, also known as Ariane Jean, is a former member of award‐winning vocal groups Chic Gamine and Madrigaïa. She has toured internationally with both groups and shared the stage with acclaimed artists Marc Broussard, JP Hoe, Marie‐Pierre Arthur, Daniel Lavoie and Royal Canoe, among many others. She launched her solo career with the release of her album Sala in October 2020, followed by her second album Surface in April 2023.
Her intimate, sometimes melancholic jazz, ambient and pop‐infused songs take in sensations and moods and translate them into images, layering lush vocals on which her airy soprano can soar. The result is moody, atmospheric music that evokes the introspection of foggy mornings and rainy afternoons.
