Combining powerful vocals with bold creativity, she brings fresh, dynamic energy and authenticity to the band’s unique sound.

IAN DESLAURIERS (GUITAR)

Bringing over 35 years of guitar experience to the stage, Ian’s passion for music is matched by his deep understanding of theory and self-taught skills. His versatility and expressive playing add a distinctive sound to Witch’s Manifest, blending technical expertise with creative flair.

CHRIS VERNER (DRUMS)

Chris started playing drums at 14 years old. Self-taught, he is now considered an accomplished musician. His influences are from the metal music genre and he tries to bring a certain crunchiness to Witch’s Manifest songs.

SAROEUN YOU (BASS)

Self-taught at the age of 15, Saroeun began by learning guitar then drifted to bass a few years later. From his experience in France, he has kept wonderful memories of concerts (from the café-bar to the regional festival), opening acts and many kilometers on the roads!
