Éric Lapointe (singer)

His band is characterized by a heavy metal style containing elements of punk, grunge, pop, and hard rock.

Despite having little money, Lapointe organized a showcase at a popular bar called Club Soda for record industry scouts.

A representative of Disques Gamma, Patrice Duchesne, was impressed by Lapointe's talent and offered him a record contract.

He also participated in the compilation of Le Petit Roi, and was especially noticed for his interpretation of "Une chance qu'on s'a" by Jean-Pierre Ferland.

The 2009 compilation album, Ailleurs, Volume 1 includes duets with Céline Dion, Isabelle Boulay, Dan Bigras, Nanette Workman, and Les Divans, as well as a trio with Garou and Claude Dubois.

His sixth studio album, Le ciel de mes combats, was released on 30 November 2010, and features Roger Tabra as cowriter, Aldo Nova on guitar, and Dufour as producer.
