Biography
Story
Pierre Lapointe (born 23 May 1981) is a Canadian singer-songwriter from Alma, Quebec. His work largely follows the tradition of French chanson, with well-crafted lyrics, while being influenced by modern pop music. He incorporates contemporary graphic arts, particularly digital art, into his work, creating a dreamlike and paradoxical universe. Defining himself as a 'popular singer', he has built an eccentric dandy persona, creating a deliberate contrast between his onstage presence and his largely autobiographical production. His records have achieved critical and commercial success in Canada, and his regular tours in France have increased his popularity.
