| Magnetic and
dynamic stage presence. Moving lyrics and melodies. With
a voice compared to some of the greatest in music, Chantal
Ambroise has the makings of a lasting musical career. Chantal
considers home the small town of Swansea, MA. At an early
age it was obvious Chantal had a talent for music.
Chantal overcame a turbulent
childhood while living in Portsmouth, VA and began singing
in jazz bands throughout high school and college, inspired
by the great singers of the past. While attending Massachusetts
College of Art, she was exposed to new ideas of production,
writing, and performance.
After graduation in 2004, Chantal
began singing lead with her own funk/soul band "Alto
Reform School" which featured some of the most talented
and respected musicians in Boston. Chantal was then invited
to join the "Ultrasonic Rock Orchestra." A cast
of the fast-growing and acclaimed show "A Night at
the Rock Opera." The show highlights some of the best
rock from The Beatles, Queen, and "Jesus Christ Superstar,"
as well as original songs. In both bands, Chantal received
fantastic reviews on her performances, showing that no style
of music is beyond her vocal ability.
A move to Seattle, WA in 2006
made Chantal a bi-coastal and motivated performer. While
still traveling to Boston to be a part of the "URO"
she had also been strengthening her connections on the west
coast. While in Seattle, Chantal went back to her early
beginnings, singing with the all female jazz big band The
Mood Swings. She also connected with promising producers
in the area.
In addition, Chantal began making
trips to Oakland, CA recording original work with progressive
hip-hop group Triple Ave. She is featured on their album
" True Working Clas Heroes" which can be found
on CDBaby and iTunes.
Currently the songstress is
living back in New England and is recording new work for
an upcoming CD, "Incredibly Human" and is the
lead singer with the long established Rhode Island-based
R&B/soul/funk band The Rockin' Soul Horns.
The future is bright and endless
for this driven and diverse performer. Motivated and inspired
by life and her own ups and downs, she has a uncanny insight
that translates to her music. It's only a matter of time...
