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!
