ROOTS: Estelle’s musical influences start with her mother, whom she watched play guitar and sing from an early age. That connection is what started it all. Since those early days, Estelle has had the opportunity to collaborate with many excellent musicians, writers, and composers. Evolving from these collaborations is a style which is truly Estelle. One collaboration which has persisted, is with guitarist / composer, John Lemieux. Since 2009, they have been writing, composing and performing together, either as a duo or as part of a larger band.
