20 Questions with Coeur de Pirate

 

This Canadian beauty (birth name, Béatrice Martin) has bestowed upon us the answers to our always red-hot 20 Questions. She was a member of a “post-hardcore” band (if you don’t think what that is click here) at 15 so you can image that this girl has cajones. She is also a true beauty and has been playing piano since she was 3. Oh, and she speaks French. This is who you want to bring home for family dinner and then to Sneaky Dee’s with your besties. Her sophmore album is out on November 8th, titled “Blonde” featuring her amazing vocals. She co-produced it with Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire, Basia Bulat, The Dears), so you can imagine the radness that it will hold. Enjoy her answers!
