Baribeau started on their songwriting journey when they formed their first band, an indie folk duo called Simple Human Tribe. Baribeau quickly gained momentum as a solo artist in 2014 when they were selected to be featured on the first ever compilation album created by N’we Jinan, a travelling music studio program. Eeyou Istchee Volume 1 shot to number one on iTunes the first day it was released and received substantial media attention across the nation.
