How it all began…It all started with our first band, Bailey On The Rocks. Originally created as an Elles Bailey tribute band, it gradually evolved into a mix of original songs, Elles Bailey covers, and other rootsy favourites.In the summer of 2025, when D’O and Steph began writing new material, they felt the urge to create a separate project—something that could stand apart from the tribute band. While discussing this with their friend Dave Barnes from the Canadian band Bywater Call, he encouraged them to find a band name that would clearly distinguish their new artistic path.Katrien had already chosen D’O as her artist name, and when combining that with the “-iane” from Stéphane’s name, D’Oriane was born. Coincidentally (or maybe not), “Dorian” is also a musical scale often used in blues and roots music—right up their alley. In French, “D’eau” means “from the water”, which felt like a perfect fit, since D’O and Stéphane live by the sea near Ostend, Belgium. Everything just seemed to click.In just a few weeks, D’O and Steph wrote a whole bunch of songs, and what started as a spark quickly turned into a plan—or perhaps a dream—to record their debut album. Autumn 2025 looks like the perfect time to begin the recording process.Keep an eye on our website, or subscribe to our newsletter to stay in the loop.
