[edit] Biography

In 1983, he founded the band Humphrey Salade with Eric Maier, Norman Lachance and Jean Gauvin. Unfortunately, timing was not right and the band never recorded. His first solo album Les Insomniaques s'amusent has sold 175,000 copies and won the 1993 Félix for best pop-rock album. The first single released Opium was number one in Québec for seven weeks.
