Stéphanie Boulay
Singer-songwriter and author Stéphanie Boulay decided, unable to choose which hat to wear daily, to stop trying to define herself and, above all, to stop restricting herself. After studying music and then literature, she was read ( À l’abri des hommes et des choses *and *Anatole qui ne séchait jamais [TD Prize], along with several collectives and blogs), heard in the media, but mostly known as "the blonde half" of the duo Les sœurs Boulay, which earned a platinum record and numerous awards from the industry. Stéphanie also ventured into solo music with the album Ce que je te donne ne disparaît pas in 2018, which she quickly retracted, out of embarrassment, modesty, or fear. She returns today on her own, without shame or fear this time, with Est-ce que quelqu’un me voit?, an album that is raw, intimate, but also liberated, free, and dancing.
It is with a light heart and more confidence in her own abilities than ever that Stéphanie Boulay will return to the stage, solo yes, but surrounded by her precious friends (Charles Blondeau on drums, Camille Gélinas on keyboards, and Alexandre Martel on guitar and bass) to perform her second solo album, Est-ce que quelqu’un me voit?. She has an insatiable desire for agency, freedom, and to forge her own path—ready to start from scratch if necessary—to meet an audience who probably doesn’t know her yet, or at least, not like this. Skilled at creating moments each night that never existed before and will never exist again in the same way, at making people laugh, and at being open with self-deprecation and raw honesty, Stéphanie will present her brand-new songs, which she spent two years working to extract from herself, with the help of producer Alexandre Martel. These songs are raw, intimate, and straightforward, but they are also free, cheeky, radiant, and dancing.
