Most kids could only daydream about spending their childhood at band rehearsal, in the recording studio, or even better, on tour around the states?  Well, for Vancouver-raised Honey Larochelle, there's no need to imagine, because that was her reality.  From her earliest memories Honey can recall music being extremely important in her life and at an early age she knew that music was her passion.  Honey spent her childhood mentored and influenced by her mother and professional singer, C.C. Larochelle (worked with Marvin Gaye, Little Richard, Bon Jovi), experiencing the music world first hand and molding her into the overflowing fountain of talent she is today.  

Honey is a triple threat within the music industry; blessed with a beautiful and soulful voice, incredibly creative song writing capabilities, and a knack and ear for producing.  Honey seems to have all bases covered, having an abundance to offer as an artist.  Fellow musicians have only positive things to say about Honey Larochelle.  N'dea Davenport (The Brand New Heavies) notes, "Honey Larochelle is one of my favorite people to sing with!"  According to Oscar award winning Jennifer Hudson (American Idol, Dream Girls) when discussing miss Larochelle's song writing, Hudson claimed, "I've never seen like her, she just asked me a few questions about myself and my life, and the next thing you know she had a verse and a hook written."

Her view on music is one that is magical and spiritual; Honey believes that music should be powerful and her goal is to affect and move people through her art.   She carries with her a warm heart, a thoughtful mind, and a sense of humor that will have you laughing for days.  She completely embodies a sweet and caring soul, which is why many have been so attracted to both her being and her talents.
