Norine Braun has been writing songs and lyrics for over a decade. Her repertoire ranges from ethereal, reflective mood music to up-tempo, hard-edged rock and blues that test the limit of popular music. She is inspired by the struggle to find meaning in the human experience. Her lyrics, although provocative, do not lose touch with her whimsical nature.

Norine Brings a passion to her strong vocal presence and was the recipient of the New Talent Demo Award (1993) by FACTOR in Canada. Norine independently released her fist CD, "Modern Anguish," in the autumn of 1996.

"Miles To Go," her second original collection, contains both sophisticated and simple pining, exploring the darker undercurrents of her psyche. Her CD ws released independently on February 12th, '99 and is available at HMV, A&B, Sam's, Chapters and Zulu in the indie section. Both CD's have been A James Bowers Production.

Currently, Norine is playing local venues in the lower mainland with her newly formed, "Norine Braun and The Mood Swings." They have played at Cafe Deux Soleil, El Cocal and are regulars at Myles Of Beans Coffeehouse, featuring songs from both her CD's. Norine also gives solo performances as a singer/songwriter at open mic's and appeared on Just Singing Round at the Anza Club. She has also performed several of her songs along with the Mood Swings on the VTV Breakfast Show.
