    - IMDb mini biography by: David Stevens
  • Phoebe Legere is a composer, artist, filmmaker, arranger, songwriter, singer and performer on piano, accordion, guitar, cello, Native American flute, and synthesizer. She works across genres and art forms.

    She combines science and classical music, painting and poetry, sculpture and engineering, acting and art. Legere is an NYU and Juilliard trained film score composer who creates her own videos, including The Shamancycle Story. Her new video, OK Cupid, is a selfie, using traditional Acadian music to critique computer culture.

    The New York Times raved: "Legere plays the piano with enormous authority in a style that encompasses Chopin, blues, ragtime, bebop and beyond, and she brings to her vocal delivery a four octave range, and an extraordinary palette of tonal color and meticulous phrasing."

    Glenn O'Brien, Interview Magazine called her " a genius." Phoebe Legere is a trans disciplinary artist and composer who works in the space between art, music, ecology, performance and engineering. The singer-songwriter plays seven instruments including one she invented herself (to help physically challenged children play music).
