Her new video, OK Cupid, is a selfie, using traditional Acadian music to critique computer culture.
The New York Times raved: "Legere plays the piano with enormous authority in a style that encompasses Chopin, blues, ragtime, bebop and beyond, and she brings to her vocal delivery a four octave range, and an extraordinary palette of tonal color and meticulous phrasing."
Glenn O'Brien, Interview Magazine called her " a genius." Phoebe Legere is a trans disciplinary artist and composer who works in the space between art, music, ecology, performance and engineering. The singer-songwriter plays seven instruments including one she invented herself (to help physically challenged children play music).- IMDb Mini Biography By: Susan Rakowski
