Album Launch: Unapologetically Me by Nicole Arrage

Tickets for this free show will be available to book from 1 November 2026.

A trilingual singer-songwriter of Lebanese origin, Nicole Arrage stands out with her pop-soul sound, where R&B, indie pop and Middle Eastern influences come together. She authentically transforms her vulnerability and perseverance into heartfelt, catchy songs. She is carried by a rich and versatile voice, enveloping harmonies and a radiant stage presence.

Her very first EP, Unapologetically Me, is a work of hope that explores relationships, loneliness, resilience and the courage to be oneself. Through intimate confessions and unifying choruses, Nicole invites you to celebrate this launch at an evening that reflects her spirit: warm, authentic and resolutely unapologetic.

The launch concert is free to the public and presented at no cost to the artist, under the City of Gatineau’s album launch programme. This programme aims to support emerging local artists and foster public interest.

The artist would like to thank BlüDog Media and Believe Canada (digital distribution), as well as artistic director Kristell LeNôtre and lighting designer Kedler Exilus.
