Myëlle
Singer-songwriter
French singer-songwriter Myëlle is classically trained in singing, cello and dramatic arts. The artist stands out for the richness and sensitivity of her interpretation. In 2009, Myëlle’s artistic identity was revealed when she performed at the Festival International de la chanson de Granby, then at the Francouvertes. In the summer of 2010, she shines at the Festival en chanson de Petite-Vallée, where she wins six awards, including the SOCAN Award for J’ai trop parlé and the Hydro-Québec Public Choice Award. In 2014, Myëlle released her first EP entitled Chéri, which she produced in collaboration with Antoine Gratton. For the past fifteen years, the artist has been making a name for herself on the Montréal scene as a multi-instrumentalist, both on record and on tour. She has collaborated with Coeur de Pirate, Tire le Coyote, Kandle, Beyries, Richard Séguin, Chantal Archambault, Amylie and the group Galaxie. Cultural mentor for Culture pour tous, artistic director of Une chanson à l’école and performance trainer, particularly at the Camp chanson de Petite-Vallée and Ma Première Place des arts, Myëlle contributes to the culture of francophone music in many ways.
