A graduate of the renowned Grove School of Music in Los Angeles, Quebec-born singer-songwriter Maryse Letarte started to learn piano with her maternal grandmother at age 3. It is with «Des pas dans la neige» (Footsteps in the Snow) - an album entirely composed of original Christmas songs - that the singer-songwriter-producer is discovered from a large audience at the end of year 2008. Her two previous albums, «En dedans» (Inside) (2001) and «Le motif» (The Reason) (2004), offer lovely introspective songs. In 1993, Maryse Letarte made a first foray into Quebec musical landscape as a character named Rita-Rita.
