Evelyne Brochu emerges forthright, sensual, and celestial. With her long-time musical partner, Félix Dyotte, she rises like a two-headed eagle belting out French pop songs that blend decades. As an artist, she gracefully engraves love stories in time like a photo on film, offering up elegantly sweet and timeless earworms. Taken together, these songs become a series of living portraits that you come back to on summer nights when the city refuses to sleep.

Career-wise, she first made her name on the screen. After studying at the Conservatoire d’art dramatique and starring in a few television series (La promesse, Aveux), Evelyne Brochu crossed paths with director Denis Villeneuve, who quickly helped launch her film career with Polytechnique. She also worked with Jean-Marc Vallée (Café de Flore), Xavier Dolan (Tom à la ferme), and Monia Chokri (La femme de mon frère), further cementing her reputation as a powerful, charismatic actor. While her career in film and television was taking off internationally (Orphan Black, X Company, Chouchou, Paris Police 1900 and 1905), she was discreetly, almost secretly, working on musical collaborations that featured her crystalline voice and irresistible flair (Quoi with Stefie Shock and C’est l’été, c’est l’été, c’est l’été, a duet with Félix Dyotte). 

In 2019, her first album laid the foundation for her musical expression. That’s when Evelyne Brochu the singer and poet was born. Crafted with the help of Félix Dyotte and Philippe Brault, Objets perdus showed that she was ready and free. She was glad to finally reclaim a part of herself that she felt drawn to yet had put aside for too long. The album earned her two nominations at the ADISQ Awards in 2020, in the Best New Artist and Pop Album of the Year categories. Her hit song Maintenant ou jamais won the Prix de la chanson SOCAN that year. 

Fuelled by her first album’s warm reception, Evelyne Brochu released Le danger, her second album, in 2023. While the first collection of songs was intimate, as she sang of love and its variations, the artist now presents herself in a different light, with greater urgency and brashness, the fruit of her natural evolution. Her lyrics, at once delicately graceful and sensuous, will set off sparks in your mind and body as Evelyne Brochu softly sings words drawn from her poetry that Félix Dyotte has imbued with melody. After working more closely than ever with her songwriting partner and becoming increasingly involved in the creative process, Evelyne has anchored herself in a happy place, ready to spread magic, passion, and the excitement of unforgettable nights. Like a fleeting glimpse of the possibilities offered by other lives, the beating heart of a summer spent in Montreal and Paris, Le danger will charm you like a sip of champagne that leaves you wanting more. It’s an invitation to dive into desire and passion without looking back.
