Stéphanie Lapointe

Despite her timid nature and calm demeanor, she was known by the public for her energetic performances including rock hits such as Green Day's "American Idiot".

[2] Following her province-wide tour with the 2004 Star Académie finalists, in which she acquired more confidence and self-esteem, she immediately started recording her first album, Sur le fil, produced by Francis Collard.

The event was held in front of several well-known personalities, including Star Académie and Le Banquier host Julie Snyder and one of the competition's judges and La Presse editor Stéphane Laporte.

Singers Catherine Durand, Projet Orange frontman Jean-Christophe Boies and Sylvie Paquette, as well as writers Dave Richard and Martine Coupal, participated in the composition of Sur le fil.

[6] She completed her contract with Musicor and, in March 2009, released her second album, entitled Donne-moi quelque chose qui ne finit pas (Give me something that doesn't end).

Pierre Lapointe (not related) wrote two songs for it, "Une fleur" (A flower) and the duet "À quoi" (What are you thinking).

[1] Lapointe is involved in various community causes and participated in the Opération Enfant Soleil telethon in 2005 while performing Sting's "Fields of Gold" song.

[13] In order to raise funds for the organization, she climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Central Africa, in 2005 along with 24 other Canadians.

During an interview with reporter Nathalie Petrowski of the Montreal newspaper La Presse, Lapointe revealed that if she was to abandon music, she would like to be heavily involved in helping humanitarian groups, as she notably travelled across several countries in conjunction with her participation at the Care Canada mission.

[1] Lapointe also made, in 2007, a Quebec-wide tour for Unicef-Quebec as Ambassador, along with actress Catherine Brunet, to discuss and sensitize the public on the issue of worldwide child poverty, particularly in Africa, just prior to the Halloween.

During her appearance on Star Académie, she made a statement to the Quebec government of Jean Charest towards an improved provincial policy on recycling.

Lapointe mentioned in the Quebec magazine Le Privé that the environment and other world issues will be significant topics for her upcoming album.

Two songs from Lapointe made the second compilation of songs from participants in 2004.
