About Me

I was born in Montreal, but moved to Quebec city very soon, as the city's polluted air was making me sick. In a quiet neighborhood, I grew up and started singing and doing shows at the age of 7. I first took part of choirs, some important, some not, and formed my musical ear at this moment.
Moving on, I had pop/jazz vocal lessons, which taught me a lot about doing stage performances and everything else a singer needs to know. But soon I got bored with it, at the moment I felt I needed something more powerful, grand, brilliant. I was starting to realize that the only moments of security, freedom and happiness I knew were when I did let my voice go, and everything else trapped into me with it. I wanted to be better, on and on. I simply couldn't get tired of making efforts. I was addicted.
And then I discovered myself a passion for classical singing. Classical music had always pleased me, but never would I have thought of singing such an extreme thing!
At this point it seemed so far and impossible to reach as a goal, but in fact everything went very quickly. I guess that my previous trainings helped a lot, and also the fact that I was obsessed about succeeding in this new form my greatest gift was taking.
Things went on, I got into new techniques and very soon discovered myself a voice I would have never guessed I had. I gained self-confidence, which I had an incredible lack of, and felt good with myself, in peace with the world for the first time of my life.
I had found my vocation.
I soon started to appear on stage regularly, as a solist as well as a chorist. I performed in theaters, music schools, singing contests, metal shows and on many other various occasions. Educated as a live performer, doing so many different kinds of shows gave me precious versatility.
More recently I replaced Augury's previous singer after the release of their first album. We had a good time, some studio, good gigs and even a short tour, but soon I wanted something more significant, and personal as well, than a session chorist status.
After all these new experiences completing my professional training, I went on by myself, and did a cover of Nightwish's song Ghost Love Score from the album Once. I was very happy with the results and felt accomplished, as I did absolutly everything on my own.
Today I am working on my own songs, some old ones, some new ones, and getting ready for the coming studio sessions.
I will also be working with various artists and bands as a session singer.
Year 2007 shall be a productive one!
