Marie-Josee is a French Canadian multi-instrumental musician from St-Boniface, Manitoba. Specializing in double bass and electric fretless bass, she reflects her French Canadian and Métis heritage in her playing. Marie-Josee has created a fiercely independent musical history that includes numerous TV performances, freelance studio recordings (over 35), performing at festivals across the world (Europe, Australia, North America, Indonesia, New Zealand; playing to sometimes more than 20,000 people) performing with various jazz ensembles, solo artists and being the technical director of several musical groups. Her woven instrumental harmonies reflect her interest in a variety of different musical styles that have moulded her widely diverse performance background. In 2006, Marie Josee developed a recording based workshop with The Big Heart Program (Manitoba Métis Federation) to help Aboriginal youth learn and experiment with live sound, multi-track recording production, radio production, and sound for television, film and theatre. Other workshop experience includes teaching about Aboriginal and Canadian culture with a performance collective in schools and Aboriginal communities across Canada.
Besides being an international touring bassist and workshop leader, Marie-Josee is a sought after studio engineer and live sound recording engineer, having earned her degree at Mid Ocean College. She has numerous studio audio engineer projects under her belt and her live sound project highlights include being on the sound crew for Mariah Carey, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Blue Shaddy (Australia).
MJ!!!! Bonjour ma belle! Its been too long...when is Oh my Darling playing next? I had to work the night you played your last show at the Park and it made me sad. My bro and I are doing a show soon at my work (Lux on Osborne) in January so you should come if you're in town. Hope all is well xo
UGH! It's just that he picks the damnedest (I know it's not a word) times to take a nap. I am STARVING and I didn't plan on cooking because my dad gave us a gift certificate to go to Ruby Tuesday and we had plans to go. I tried to wake him up over an hour ago and he's still laying there. I'm moving on from annoyed to pissed off! anywayz, it went good. We got stuff for our wii. How was yours? know what sucks? that IM supposed to be the one that knows about "web-stuff" and your profile is better than mine? Maybe I should just let you take care of mine like mom does Dan's...ohh, that reminds me, speaking of mom; i finally got her to start taking those surveys online like i'm doing, cuz i know the extra money sure comes in handy. you should really try em. i mean, if i got mom to try it, psh, i can get anybody to, heh..i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:

... anyhow, I know we are both kinda like "wo ah" right now. But I just wanted to take a second to remind you that you are Amazing!
YES! I do too, but I can't breathe, I can't sleep and my head is throbbing....I went to the Pharmacy last night and she hooked me up, so I hope with these meds I can get to feeling better. I am not coming in this afternoon to work. We might actually do that. Send a text my way and remind me, if you don't mind. I'd love to do that! We are SOOO loving our vacation time and love being around people too. the extra money we made from taking those paid surveys online helped out so much!! you should really do them too; i mean, hey, the extra money comes in handy, right? i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:

Anyways, got any plans for next weekend? ... cuz i doooooooo! oooh, I think the pizza's here, I'm so freakin hungry right now, but it's all good. and that survey thing i was doing - THAT YOU WAS MAKING FUN OF ME FOR DOING!! - i just got paid! $76 for my first check, and since i got paid, I'm gonna do more of em, but I'm already at $184, so I'm loving it. They're so seriously stupid tho - the one I got last night was about my hair and stuff - like what kind of shampoo do I use, do I normally use conditioner ... for real, so easy. you should do it, i'm tellin yah. i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:
