Currently a student at the University of Toronto studying music and philosophy, Slean is also an accomplished painter and photographer. She recorded her first album Universe at the age of nineteen and has since completed three other albums, Blue Parade (1998), Night Bugs (2002), and Day One (2004). Night Bugs was her first major label album, co-produced by Slean and Hawksley Workman, and released by WEA in Canada and Atlantic Records in the United States. It was heavily inspired by cabaret music.
On September 28, 2004, Slean released her fourth album, Day One.Here Slean's piano takes a less important spot for the first time inher career. The focus is more on beats, rhythms and guitar, whichshines through in the album's first single, the cheeky "Lucky Me". Theup-tempo title track "Day One", and "Mary", a song about Slean'sgrandmother, were released as the second and third singles.
In October 2006, Slean released a mostly-live album, Orphan Music,which consists of songs recorded live at Toronto's Harbourfront Theatreand the Vancouver East Cultural Centre. Other new tracks featuringSlean and the piano were recorded at DNA Recording Facility in Torontoand Kensaltown Studios in the UK.
Also in 2006, she contributed two tracks ("Us and Them" and "Comfortably Numb") to Pink Floyd Redux, a modern 12-track tribute to Pink Floyd.
Slean is probably best known for a track on Night Bugs, a piano-heavy pop tune called "Sweet Ones". She was also featured on the Fox TV network as the pianist in Sunrise, the fictional town where bodies started piling up in Murder in Small Town X, a short-lived reality TV series.
