Caroline Vézina holds a BFA specialized in Jazz Studies from Concordia University in Montreal (1996) and a MA in Music and Culture from Carleton University in Ottawa (2014), the last semester of which she was invited as a music scholar at Tulane University in New Orleans.

Following graduation, she split her time between Montreal and New Orleans researching the music of the French Creoles for five more years as an independent scholar. This gave her the opportunity to visit many cities, museums, and historic sites, while exploring the French heritage of Louisiana, Missouri and Illinois, once part of the French Empire in America. Her keen interest in diverse peoples and cultures has also led her to travel extensively in Central America, Europe, New Zealand, Australia, and the United States, visiting New Orleans for the first time in 2008.

Since publication she has been invited to present her research at Tulane University in New Orleans and at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, at two of the Louisiana State Museums—The Cabildo, and the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame & Northwest Louisiana History—at the 2023 Louisiana Book Festival, and by the Northshore Traditional Music Society for a pre-concert lecture for the Swingtime at Springtime 2024 concert.

But most of all, her passion for poetry and music has endured, as she is now completing an online certificate in songwriting at the Berklee College of Music.
