Fragments of childhood that cling to a singular voice, making it as moving as it is inimitable. That's what about Fanny Bloom immediately infiltrates the ear and the heart simultaneously. Since the release of her first solo album, Apprentie guerrière (2012) - awarded the Félix for Alternative Album of the Year - it's now been a full decade since the evocation of her name resounds with something that pulsates with strength, like a poetic pop synergy uniting exaltation and melancholy.

Having played guitar since the age of 10, it was in his teens that Guillaume Lafond decided he was going to make a living in this field. After completing his Cégep in music and spending 3 years on cruise ships, he began performing solo. He accumulated shows in restaurants and bars in the Montérégie region until he entered the 2021 edition of Star Académie. This experience propelled his career to new horizons. As one of the public's favorites, he emerged from this adventure with his head held high, and since then has been performing in iconic venues across Quebec. In October 2022, Guillaume presents his very first career album, À destination, on which he writes the lyrics and music of these country-folk songs, sometimes smiling, sometimes moving, with his accomplice and producer David Laflèche.
