Biography
MYREILLE BÉDARD
ONE NAME, A THOUSAND TALENTS
Myreille Bédard is a Quebec multi-talented artist who began her career as a singer and one of the founders of the renowned a cappella vocal group La Bande Magnétik. She performed with this group in various contexts such as the International Montreal Jazz Festival and different television shows.
She then wrote and performed her own songs in collaboration with the composer and guitar player Richard Lupien. As an interpreter, she was semi-finalist at the Festival de la chanson de Granby. In the following years, she worked with the artist Pier Noli in different projects. Among other things, they presented the musical La Folle Histoire de la Chanson in numerous cities of Quebec.
Being attracted by voice as much as by image, Myreille Bédard has involved herself in many other projects. She created the radio serie Les Voix Multiples and directed the radio concert entitled Mascarade, both produced by Radio-Canada (SRC). Also, she wrote the script and directed the short film Des enfants de trop… broadcasted on ART TV and SRC.
Being sensitive to all sorts of art, the author, composer, singer and director never got satisfied with just one label. With her first solo album Éclats de vie, launched in 2007, Myreille Bédard adds a new color to her creative rainbow.
In 2008, the prestigious New York based label Putumayo World Music choose one of the interpreter’s song to appear on the compilation album Putumayo Québec which celebrates the 400th anniversary of the city.
