Hard Sail is Chantals sixth studio album, and first since the release of Plain
Jane in October of 2009. For the past six years, Chantal Kreviazuk took a break
from her role as one of Canada’s foremost singer-songwriters. Instead,
she was busy penning hits for the likes of Drake and Carrie Underwood—all
while raising her three sons and getting lost in the joys of motherhood that she
says bring new authenticity into her life. 

“I was writing all the time, but I didnt feel the need to return to my
solo career unless it was a departure and reflected my growth as a human
being,” says Chantal. “And I wanted to stay close to the nest. My
young children needed me and there is only so much leasing space for love. Now
they are busy in their lives and I am compelled to sing more and connect more
with my audience once again. Its been a very organic process!” 

Chantal – the three-time Juno Award winner – has spent the last
few years focused on raising her three sons with husband Raine Maida, as well as
her other musical passion, crafting songs. Most recently, Chantal has written
for Drake (“Over My Dead Body”), Pitbull (“Feel This
Moment”) and Kendrick Lamar (“Pay For It”) –which she
performed with the rapper on Saturday Night Live last season. She has also
penned tracks for Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, Kelly Clarkson,
Josh Groban and Carrie Underwood. 

While her professional achievements are significant, Chantal receives the
greatest amount of joy at home where she raises her three sons – Rowan,
Lucca, and Sal – with her husband, Raine Maida, frontman for Our Lady
Peace. For Chantal, motherhood has breathed an authenticity into her life that
inspires her to achieve new levels of self-discovery. 

Chantal and Raine became members of the Order of Canada, recognizing their
efforts to raise awareness and support for numerous causes, including human and
animal rights, mental health, education and the environment. Chantal has been an
ambassador to War Child for 16 years and one of the organization’s
founding artists. She is also a proud supporter of the Canadian Mental Health
Association, Polar Bears International , First Nations People, Sick Kids
Hospital and Children’s Hospital Foundation in Winnipeg. Last year, she
was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Winnipeg, her alma
mater.
