Yoan Garneau

Yoan Garneau, born on May 10, 1995, in Ferme-Neuve, Quebec, is a talented Canadian singer-songwriter known for his contributions to pop, rock, and country music. He gained national recognition as the winner of Season 2 of the reality television series La Voix in 2014, a pivotal moment that launched his music career.

Garneau's musical journey is deeply rooted in his family, with his father, Sylvain, being a country musician. This familial influence played a significant role in shaping his artistic direction. During his audition for La Voix, he faced a tough decision between performing an original song or a cover of Billy Joe Shaver's 'Live Forever,' ultimately opting for the latter at the last moment.

In 2015, he released his self-titled debut album, Yoan, which showcased his versatility as an artist. The album features collaborations with notable artists such as Isabelle Boulay, his coach from La Voix, and country singer Brett Kissel. It includes a mix of original compositions and covers, with the lead single being a rendition of Jimmy Reed's 'Baby What You Want Me to Do.'

Upon its release on March 25, 2015, Yoan debuted at number one on Billboard's Canadian Albums Chart, maintaining that position for three consecutive weeks. In the first two months, the album achieved remarkable success, selling approximately ninety thousand copies, solidifying Garneau's place in the Canadian music scene.
