About Me
Singer/Songwriter/Actress, Malou Beauvoir is a unique combination of her multi-cultural (Haitian, French and American) influences
Haitian-American performing artist Malou Beauvoir is a captivating, highly emotive singer-songwriter, actor and producer who brings to her artistry the unique amalgamation of her multi-cultural influences and experiences. A citizen of the world, she has lived in the US, Europe and Haiti, and traveled extensively; each culture she has encountered has impacted and informed her in different ways, reinforcing her openness to different perspectives and forms of spirituality. Her sixth album “SPIRITWALKER” combines treasured Haitian folk songs written for the spirits with original compositions inspired both by contemporary social & political issues, and by the ancient spirits of Haiti, whispering in her ear. “Papa Damballah” from this album was recently featured in Suzan Beraza’s 2019 award-winning documentary for PBS about the Haitian workers in the Dominican Republic entitled “Massacre River : A Woman without a Country”. Malou’s composition “You made a Fool Out of Me” was also featured in Elizabeth Rappeneau’s “ Paul et ses Femmes” in which she also held a supporting role. Her acting work includes roles in “The Queen”, “Farewell” and ABC TV series “PERCEPTION”. Malou Beauvoir’s art has always been infused with a spiritual quality rooted in Haitian music. This quality is now more prominent, taking on a new sense of urgency and representing the essence of her sound. It is fundamental to everything she does — both in music and in her social work. In 2019, she commenced work on a documentary focusing on the “essence of the VAUDOU culture”, traveling to Haiti, Benin, and throughout the world to redefine the narrative of this intriguing and compelling culture. Also, “CELEBRE”, a fund raising project (single) for IHI, an international foundation working on the ground in Haiti to bring affordable testing and treatment for cancer patients in rural Haiti. Acting as a co-producer and co-writer, the project reunited her with SPIRITWALKER co-producers Chico Boyer and Cheff Loncher while introducing her to songwriter Beth Blatt and the 4 talented singers who would join in to bring the project to life. Malou has donated her performances and support to the “TIBET FUND Gala” in NY, the Fonkoze Gala in L.A, the Back Country Jazz fundraiser, “Roots for Development and other non-profit organizations who are working to make this world a better place.
