Andrée Boudreau is a Matapedia Valley native, from a place called St-Léon-le-Grand. Music became part of her life very early on, as her mother, her only teacher until the age of 15, taught her classical piano as well as the repertoire of French and Quebec songs.

She then proceeded to study classical piano and composition (counterpoint, harmony, fugue) at the Conservatoire de musique de Rimouski and the Conservatoire de musique de Québec, where she discovered her passion for jazz playing for the school's stage band. In 1992, after studying 9 years at the conservatory, she went on to specialize in jazz at the Université Laval in Québec, and later on with Montréal pianist Lorraine Desmarais.

She took part in the 2004 edition of the Festival International de jazz de Montréal, where her trio was selected among the 10 finalist groups for the Festival's Grand Prix GM.

In 1995, she performed at the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, the Festi-Jazz de Rimouski, the Nuits Internationales de Jazz et de Blues de Québec and at the "Jazz à Vienne" in France. She was on stage at the St-Ambroise jazz festival in 2002, and at the 2003 edition of the OFF Festival de jazz in Montréal and St-Jérôme.

Boudreau has recorded on several occasions for CBC Radio: a "Miles Davis" special, live from the Museum of Fine Arts with Stanley Péan, in May 2010, "Quand le jazz est là" in 2004, "Silence on Jazz" in 2002, "Cree et chuchotements" in 2001, "Jazz sur le vif" in 1992 and 1997, and "Le Club de minuit" in 1998,1999 and 2000.

Her first album was released in 2002 by the EFFENDI label, and did very well in Canada and France. In 2007, she released a trio album that Montréal critics also acclaimed, confirming that Boudreau deserves a place among Montréal's best jass musicians: "… her approach has reached the maturity level of hardcore professionals, worthy of our jazz community…" (Alain Brunet) "…We are entitled to ten pieces that showcase Boudreau's diverse inspiration and great mastery…" (Stanley Péan)

In 2008, she participated in the recording of "Berceuses pour Philou" along with pianists such as Lorraine Desmarais, Oliver Jones, François Bourassa, André Gagnon, Florence K, etc.

She participated in clarinet player Mathieu Bélanger's project named "Insomnia" in 2007, which was later nominated at the Gala de l'ADISQ, and collaborated with saxophone player Michel Dubeau for his album "Night Dreamer" in 2008.

Boudreau has already been awarded several grants from the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec, which also regularly asks her to be on grant application evaluation committees. As a multi-talented pianist, she has also worked on song projects with singers such as Paule-Andrée Cassidy and Jessica Vigneault. Throughout her diversified career, her many contracts have given her the opportunity to perform outside Canada, including in France, Switzerland, New-York, and on cruise ships (Bermuda, Caribbean, Central America and Alaska). She has also been a pianist at Quebec Prime Minister Jacques Parizeau's Official Residence, as well as at the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor of Québec.

After settling down in the Lower Laurentians in 1999, Boudreau has, on many occasions, collaborated with local jazz musicians: Michel Dubeau, Alain Boyer, Jean-François Barbeau, Pascal Tremblay, Marie Labrecque, Michel Viau, Mauride Soudre, etc. A very involved person in her community, Boudreau often performs in Ste-Thérèse at the collège Lionel-Groulx's Jeudis-Jazz and at Arousse restaurant's Soirées jazz.

Boudreau currently works as a teacher and coordinator at the cégep de Ste-Thérèse's music department, where she has been teaching piano and auditive training since 2000. She has also already taught at the cégep de Ste-Foy and at the cégep St-Laurent, in 1998, 1999 and 2000.
