Treasa Levasseur

Treasa Levasseur has explored virtually every roots-based genre across her career as a singer and songwriter, moving fluidly among folk, blues, and country while also embracing sunshine pop, heavy metal, and hip-hop; she further supports this range as a multi-instrumentalist on piano, accordion, guitar, and mandolin. Although born in Winnipeg, she spent her formative years in North Bay before relocating to Toronto, where she rapidly integrated into the city’s music community. Demand for her skills soon positioned her as both a sought-after performer and a flexible session vocalist, leading to collaborations with an eclectic roster that includes the Robber Who Robbed the Town, Rhymestone, Pan Con Queso, House of Velvet, and Lab Cap and the Monkey Mob. In 2002 she issued the EP Me and the Boys under the pseudonym Slim. Two years later she issued the self-released album Not a Straight Line under her own name in Canada. Low Fidelity followed in 2008, reaching the United States in 2010.
