Here are five defining moments from the singer-songwriter’s career.
The Quebecer became known to the general public during the very first edition of the show La Voix broadcast on TVA in 2013. Chosen by Marie-Mai, she reached the final, during which she performed a song by her coach and Fred Pellerin, J’attends.
However, she did not win the television competition, while the public crowned Jérôme Couture, but this beautiful career gave her a lot of visibility in order to start her career as a singer well.
During his radio show on the prestigious BBC channel broadcast in 2017, British star Elton John talked about the rising Montreal star, in addition to introducing his listeners to Main Girl, the title track from Cardin’s second EP.
“It’s crazy. He said he loved the song. Then he put it on a Spotify playlist he created, which is called Elton John Loves. These are his musical favorites of the moment. Twice, Elton John winked at me and it really freaked me out, ”Charlotte Cardin told the Journal in 2017.
Charlotte Cardin received her first nomination at the Gala de l’ADISQ in 2017 for song of the year, Les échardes, and for English-language show of the year thanks to her concert, Big Boy.
The young artist did not win a trophy during this edition, but she got her hands on three Félix in 2021.
The Canadian pop singer released her debut album, titled Phoenix, in 2021.
The album notably contains the song Meaningless, whose music video has been listened to more than four million times on the YouTube platform.
The American production box Atlantic Records Artists will produce his brand new project. The record publishing house is notably at the head of the albums of Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran.
Phoenix has already reached the first position of the most listened to Canadian albums of the prestigious Billboard ranking.
In 2022, Charlotte Cardin was the most crowned artist of the Juno edition, which rewards Canadian musical artisans. She ended the evening with a harvest of four awards among the five nominations she obtained.
The Montreal native notably beat out international stars Justin Bieber and Shawn Mendes, seeing her opus Phoenix be crowned album of the year. “I am completely in shock,” repeated the 27-year-old artist at the time.
Charlotte Cardin will offer a carte blanche show this Wednesday, July 6 from 9:30 p.m. on the Plains of Abraham.
