WORKING AS A PROFESSIONAL SESSION VOCALIST SINCE THE AGE OF 15 DÉ SAINT WAS ROOTED WITHIN THE LIVE MUSIC SCENE OF MELBOURNE, AUS. FEELING RESTLESS SHE PACKED HER BAGS TO EXPERIENCE & EXPLORE NEW PLACES. AS A LIVE MUSICIAN SHE FELL INTO HOUSE MUSIC ALMOST BY DEFAULT, PERFORMING AS A VOCALIST ALONGSIDE DJ’s AT arthouse + warehouse parties IN FRANCE + GERMANY
“I WOULD OFTEN BE LEFT AT THE DECKS WHILE MY MATES WOULD GO OFF FOR A BREAK, I LEARNED WHO TO DJ ON THE JOB, WHILE I WAS SINGING”
This time overseas was transformative in the early development of her electronic skills
Upon returning to Australia DÉ SAINT ORGANICALLY grew TO BE an in demand selector for INDUSTRY EVENTS + AFTER PARTIES
ALL BOOKINGS WERE (+ STILL ARE) WORD OF MOUTH
WITH A BURNING DESIRE TO PERFORM HER OWN ORIGINAL WORKS DÉ SAINT SET UP A HOME STUDIO & WENT DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE OF LEARNING PRODUCTION
IN JUST OVER A YEAR DÉ SAINT. HAS RELEASED X5 ARIA CLUB CHARTING HITS WITH 3 REACHING THE TOP 10
“I DO FEEL THIS IS QUITE AN ACHIEVEMENT AS CLUBBERS OFTEN LIKE TO HEAR A VOCAL THEY KNOW AND AS I HAVE NOT USED ANY SAMPLING AS A HOOK TO GRAB PEOPLE’S ATTENTION, THIS HAS BUILT MY CONFIDENCE AS A SONGWRITER + FOCUS AS AN ORGINAL ARTIST”
Over the past 5 years DÉ SAINT. has shared the stage alongside MAJORS such as Groove Armada (UK) Pnau, CRAZY P (UK) ROGER SANCHEZ (US) Flume, ERIC POWELL (UK) MARKUS HOMM (GER) CROOKED COLOURS, JUNGLE GIANTS, John Course, KLP, RUNNING TOUCH, TORREN FOOT, TIJUANA CARTEL, Sneaky Sound System + many more
For someone who has managed her own career thus far she is very excited to continue her reGULAR CLUB DATES aROUND AUS & festivals spots + support opportunitIes here and overseas
“I’ve always enjoyed the freedom HOUSE music has given me. To be flexible with my repertoire, I love diversity. This has spilled over to my writing. Don’t label me cos I’m not an artist who WILL BE set in one genre, I like to mix it up BUT I DO FIND I LEAN MORE INTO DRIVING MELODIC TECH HOUSE W/ BIG FAT GROOVES WHEN I PLAY MY LIVE SETS”
