An Innu from Mashteuiatsh on the shores of Lake Pekuakami, Soleil Launière lives and works in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal). A multidisciplinary artist combining song, movement, and theater, as well as performance art, she interweaves the presence of the two-spirited body and experimental audiovisuals, drawing inspiration from the cosmogony and sacred spirit of the animals of the Innu world.

In the fall of 2023, Soleil Launière unveils her debut album Taueu , exploring the themes of territory, femininity, gender identity and matriarchy. Taueu is a soul-roots album imbued with pop tones and magnetic arrangements that draw us into a mysterious universe and a soothing space. Accompanied by Joséphine Bacon who taught her Innu-aimun, her songs blend French, English, Innu-aimun, and a language invented by Soleil in a process of reappropriation of cultural identity and language. On stage, with the seasoned musicians of CHANCES (Chloé Lacasse, Geneviève Toupin, Vincent Carré) and Simon Walls, she combines vocal harmonies and strong percussion with performance art. This brand new, intriguing soul-roots project transports the audience into a profound and gripping experience.
