Renee is an artist
at heart. First as a singer/songwriter (love of her life),
then as a hair stylist and now as a fashion designer.
Born
and raised in a french community (Ile Des Chenes, MB), Renee
started her music career at a very young age singing in
French and performing in small town communities throughout
southern Manitoba. In 1997, she met her partner Keith Macpherson
and after ten years together, two albums under their belt,
multiple awards and nominations, a name change (aka: Easily
Amused) and a Canadian Idol performance (Keith- 2006 finalist),
Winnipeg Duo, Keith and Renee are set to release their 3rd
CD titled, REVOLUTION (release date October 9, 2007). Keith
and Renee have performed all across North America in cities
including New York, LA, Toronto and Chicago. They have shared
stages with the likes of Sean Lennon, Tegan and Sara and
Burton Cummings.
Renee’s
most recent accomplishment is the start of her own clothing
line, Renee Leone. Something Old, Something New...Since
her teens, Renee has had a thing for vintage clothing. Not
too long ago, she came up with an idea of designing a halter
shirt from a silk scarf after passing a woman on the street
in Toronto. Mesmerized by the magnificent color and movement
in a scarf, Renee went home and created a piece that has
been described as beautiful, flowing and feminine. Several
different versions of her scarf shirt soon followed. Little
did Renee know her idea was going to sore!! After a few
months and a little promotion, hundreds of shirts were sold
and displayed in 8 stores across western Canada. 'What I
love about my shirts is that not only is every one of them
unique and one of a kind but also friendly on the environment.'
The
clothing line has already been mentioned in New York City’s,
Time Out Magazine and her line is endorsed by international
recording artist, Chantal Kreviazuk. Renee is a real believer
is making dreams come true. She has a never-give up attitude
and has become an extremely great role model for young women
across Canada.
