Damien Robitaille

Active since the turn of the millennium, Damien Robitaille is as much a dashing songwriter of his own songs as he is an astute interpreter of others'. Hailing from the small Franco-Ontarian village of Lafontaine and now based in Montreal, he is signed to Audiogram and has 5 albums to his credit, all marked by his trademark sensitive sense of humor - which earned him the Prix Félix-Leclerc from the Franco de Montréal.

His most recent salvo is also perhaps his greatest coup: since 2020, he has been releasing videos of covers of well-known songs in which he superimposes himself by playing all the instruments, highlighting his talents as a multi-instrumentalist. Like the rest of his work, it's wide-ranging, invigorating - and it's bound to have an impact on his future work as a songwriter, as well as earning him the Félix for the Artist of the Year with the most web exposure at the ADISQ gala in 2021 and 2022. Five years after the release of Bientôt ce sera Noël, Damien is back with his new album, Ultraviolet.

Céleste Lévis

Céleste Lévis grew up in Timmins, Ontario. Music came into her life later on, following serious health issues that forced the young girl to give up all sports. In her darkest moments, music gave her a second chance at life.

Having developed a passion for the craft, the singer-songwriter is more eager than ever to take the stage. In 2013, the young Franco-Ontarian competed in Ontario Pop, a true springboard for emerging Francophone musicians in Ontario. Céleste won 6 of the 8 awards, which qualified her for the Ma Première Place des Arts competition and secured her a spot directly in the semifinals of the Granby International Song Festival. In 2015, Céleste competed on La Voix and made it to the semifinals. Shortly afterward, she decided to take a break from her studies at the University of Ottawa to pursue her ultimate goal: breaking into the music industry and sharing her art with the world.

Céleste released her debut album, CÉLESTE, in 2015. Since then, she has continued her rise to fame by performing numerous shows on her tour across Canada. Other notable milestones for the singer-songwriter include opening for Francis Cabrel’s shows in Quebec in 2016, a nomination at the ADISQ Gala for Adult Contemporary Album of the Year, as well as five other nominations at the 2017 Trille Or Gala and a nomination for Album of the Year by a Francophone Artist at the NOMFA. In September 2021, Céleste took part in songwriting workshops in Astaffort, France, led by none other than Francis Cabrel.

More dedicated than ever, Céleste self-produced her second album, Donne-moi le temps (2018), and her Christmas album, Noël tout autour (November 2020). In October 2021, she released her fourth album, Si tu veux tout savoir. The album enjoyed great success on the radio with its lead single, “Ça passera,” and in the media. Four more radio singles followed: the album gained traction across Canada, introducing the singer-songwriter to new audiences.

In 2024, Céleste was selected for the “Des lacs à l’océan” project, a triple interprovincial lineup. She took the stage at the Granby International Song Festival and the Franco-Fête in Toronto, among others. She is currently working on her next album alongside her longtime collaborator, Marc-Antoine Joly.

With her unique, warm, and comforting voice, Céleste hopes to give people hope through her songs. Kind and generous with her audience, the artist is one of those big-hearted souls who touch people’s hearts and carve out a place there… Much to our delight.
