Marie-Mai Bouchard (born July 7, 1984 in Varennes, Quebec) also known as her stage name Marie-Mai, is a French Canadian singer from Quebec. She was initially known as one of the top finalists of the first season of the Quebec reality show Star Académie.

Profile/Background[link]

As her father was also a musician,^[1] Marie-Mai began her interest in music in her early years when practising piano lessons and also participated in musical theatre. Shortly, she began singing and her grandmother noticed her talent. In the following years, she would help Marie-Mai improve her singing abilities even further. At that time, her grandmother suggested to her that she audition for a new competition, Star Académie. Prior to this, in 2001, she would start to perform in shows at Montreal's Théâtre Musical in the Passion intense show.

She became a finalist in the 2003 edition, in which she was immediately noticed by her pop-rock style. She finished third behind Marie-Elaine Thibert, the runner-up of the competition and Wilfred Le Bouthillier, the eventual winner.

After the Star Académie tour that ended in 2004, she was part of Rent, a rock opera musical which was held at the Olympia Theatre in Montreal.

On September 4, 2011, she married Fred St-Gelais (also her producer) in Hawaii. The couple were engaged since 2006. ^[2]

History[link]

Over 120,000 albums were sold in Quebec alone while the album was released in France in 2006.^[1][3] Several singles had reached high in the Quebec charts including the songs "Il faut que tu t'en ailles" and "Encore une nuit" which reached the top of the Radio Énergie charts. In 2005, she won the prize for best music video for French MuchMusic Video Awards with the video for her song "Il faut que tu t'en ailles". In support of her album, Marie-Mai played 87 shows and had released a video album of her concert, La Tournée Inoxydable.
