Yann Perreau

Born on April 5 1976 in Berthier, Quebec, Canadian rock-electro singer-songwriter Yann Perreau rose to fame as the singer of Doc et les Chirurgiens, amassing two albums and hundreds of live shows between 1994 and 1999 as well as winning the Quebec music competition Cégeps Rock in their first year of existence. Yann Perreau inaugurated his solo career in 2002 with his debut album of modern chanson, Western Romance, winning the Rapsat-Lelièvre prize at the Francofolies de Spa in Belgium, the Mirror prize for local artists at the Festival d'été international de Québec, and the Félix-Leclerc song prize at the FrancoFolies in Montreal. The album's successor, Nuclear, arrived two years later, yielding two radio staples in the tracks "La Vie N'est Pas Qu'une Salope" and "Guerrière." His 2007 show Perreau et la Lune was immortalised on disc via the 2008 DVD Perreau et la lune live au Quat'Sous and two years later he earned his first Juno nomination (for best French-language album) with the 2009 LP Un Serpent sous les Fleurs. He drew inspiration from the late Québécois writer, poet, and director Claude Péloquin (who passed away in 2018) for 2012 album À Genoux dans le Désir and four years later lit up the radio waves with tracks such as “T’embellis ma vie” and “J’aime les Oiseaux” from the album Le Fantastiques des Astres. In 2018, Yann Perreau issued the Voyager Léger EP, steered by a cover of the 1989 song "Voyage, Voyage" by French singer Desireless featuring Quebec singer La Bronze. New single “Goûter le temps” emerged in 2020 followed by "Va où ton cœur te porte" in 2022.
