Deanna Cartea

Captivating vocals, haunting melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics describe the music of Deanna Cartea. Deanna combines her upbringing in the Canadian Prairies with a West Coast influence and fuses them into a truly unique sound that is able to draw in an audience from the moment she sings her first note.

Much of Deanna’s songwriting is drawn upon the exposure she had to the hard core elements of society during a career in Social Work that brought her up close and personal to the people and families who struggle daily. Those images, combined with her own personal experiences in life form a genuine and cerebral style to the character of her songwriting.

A move from her hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan to the West Coast of British Columbia brought an entirely new element to Deanna’s music. Much of this new direction was guided by the vibrant music scene occurring on the Sunshine Coast of BC. Deanna carefully crafted a new and unique sound described as a blend of woodsmoke and wonder, and burst onto the West Coast music scene performing in BC and the Northwest USA.
