About Me

MySpace Layouts


It is at age 19 that this young Swiss woman learned her first guitar chords. Equally inspired by Sheryl Crow and Tracy Chapman, Tracy Caine found her path in the steps of female artists made is USA. She possesses multiple influence: country, folk, and blues were played back and forth on her stereo and English naturally imposes itself as the language for her songs.
After experimenting with several bands, Tracy decides to fly on her own when she met Robert Palm with R&P Music in 2003. This bit of help from destiny, as she refers to it, took her to Sweden where she recorded 4 track in 5 days.
In 2004, her lucky star is still following her when she reached the 2nd place of an international songwriting competition (http://www.songprize.com) with Little Girl and an honorary diploma from the Billboard contest (www.billboard.com) with Blank Page. The same year, Tracy moved to France to entirely invest her time in music. She starts everything back from scratch.
In 2005, she takes part in the compilation album Best unsigned album ever... 2! under the British label Chromium Records. She goes back on tour with new musicians and takes part in the regional championship of Pop Rock tour sponsored by RTL2. She finally realizes her dream when she releases her first self-produced album, Look, in December 2005. On this album, songs are of great quality, they possess a lot of rhythm, variety, they are sometimes funky, with excellent musicians, and clean lyrics which are sometimes taking a stance so as to stay firmly fixed to current events.
In 2006, Tracy Caine appears on the first volume of LEZARDER and signs a digital distribution contract with DCB Records in Switzerland. Look has been made available through the major MP3 providers: iTunes, Fnacmusic,fr, Virginmega.fr, Napster, and MSN Music amongst others.
2007 transition year with the return of Tracy in Switzerland. Some time to find musicians and concerts for the year after.
A year 2008 which goes very well with lots of gigs in Switzerland and France hoping that 2009 will be the year of a new album. Who knows? .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
C’est à 19 ans que cette jeune Suisse apprend ses premiers accords de guitare. Inspirée aussi bien par Sheryl Crow que par Tracy Chapman, Tracy Caine trouve sa voie dans les pas des artistes féminines from USA. Les influences sont multiples : la country, le folk, le blues passent en boucle sur sa platine, et c’est naturellement que l’anglais s’impose dans l’écriture de ses chansons.
Après quelques expériences au sein de plusieurs groupes, Tracy décide de voler de ses propres ailes quand elle rencontre Robert Palm de R&P Music en 2003. Ce coup de pouce du destin, comme elle l’appelle, l’emmène jusqu’en Suède où elle enregistre une maquette 4 titres en cinq jours.
Sa bonne étoile la suit toujours lorsqu’elle atteint, en 2004, la seconde place d’un concours international de song writing (http://www.songprize.com) avec sa chanson Little Girl et un diplôme d’honneur du Billboard contest (www.billboard.com) pour Blank Page. La même année, Tracy déménage en France pour se consacrer à sa musique. Elle reprend tout de zéro.
En mars 2005, elle participe à la compilation Best unsigned album ever… 2 ! du label anglais Chromium Records. Elle repart sur scène avec de nouveaux musiciens et participe à la finale régionale du Pop Rock tour de la radio RTL2.Elle réalise enfin son rêve lorsqu’elle sort son premier album autoproduit, Look, en décembre 2005. Les chansons sont d’une grande qualité, beaucoup de rythmiques, variées, parfois funky, les musiciens sont excellents, les textes sont soignés, parfois engagés pour mieux s’ancrer dans l’actualité.
En 2006, Tracy Caine participe à la première compilation de LEZARDER et signe un contrat de distribution numérique avec DBC Records en Suisse. Look est disponible sur les plus grandes plates-formes de téléchargement : sur iTunes, Fnacmusic.fr, Virginmega.fr, Napster et Msn Music entre autres.
2007 année de transition avec le retour de Tracy en Suisse. Un peu de temps pour retrouver des musiciens sur place et trouver des concerts pour l’année suivante.
Une année 2008 qui se déroule très bien avec de nombreux concerts en France et en Suisse en espérant que 2009 soit l’année du 2ème album. Qui sait ?
