Caroline Spence - vocals, rhythm guitar

Caroline started writing songs at the age of 2 on a piano that looked suspiciously like Schroeder's piano from Peanuts. However, she could never quite get it to sound as good as he could, hmm! :D Caroline has been singing her heart out most of her life. She started writing lyrics in high school but only began writing songs in earnest in 1996. She has since written over 300 songs to date. Many of them complete garbage. But some turned out pretty well, so she performs those ones.

She was one of the originating members of the enigmatic indie band, AITI MAA, that played and toured around Toronto for many years. She wrote songs, sang lead and harmony and played rhythm guitar. She has also helped with other music projects for bands and for independent movies.

Caroline was part of the Torontoindiemusic.com networking group for independent musicians and was part of the successful 'Consider This...' compilation CD and tour. That project saw the CD played across Canada on college radio, CBC radio and being sold in HMV stores in Canada. How great it was to hear her track played on the HMV listening station, main floor, downtown Toronto HMV! She now works as part of the Cornerstone Records & Entertainment Collective in Victoria, helping independent artists achieve their career goals. A long time member of the Canadian Independent Music Collective, she puts in many volunteer hours helping other independent artists with business, promotion and resource support. She has organized and promoted numerous multi-artist tours across Canada.

Caroline has trained for a number of years with Mitch Seekins, Canadian opera singer and vocal coach to Emm Gryner, Hawksley Workman, Margo Timmins, and many others. Her her solo EP 'hello' was produced and engineered by Michael Jack (Jann Arden, Rush, The Trews).

Fun Facts: Caroline has travelled to the Arctic Circle, visiting Tuktoyuktuk and revelling in pingo viewings and muskeg romps. She has also walked on fire. But not at the same time, of course.
