Active since the turn of the millennium, Damien Robitaille is as much a spirited songwriter of his own material as he is a skilled interpreter of others’ songs. Originally from the small Franco-Ontarian village of Lafontaine and now based in Montreal, he is signed to Audiogram and has five albums to his credit, all marked by his unique, sensitive sense of humor-which earned him the F\u00e9lix-Leclerc Award at the Franco de Montr\u00e9al.
\n
\nHis most recent project is possibly also his greatest coup: since 2020, he has been releasing videos of covers of well-known songs in which he layers himself playing all the instruments, showcasing his talents as a multi-instrumentalist. Like the rest of his work, it covers a wide range of styles, it’s invigorating-and it will inevitably influence his future work as a singer-songwriter, in addition to earning him the F\u00e9lix Award for Artist of the Year with the Greatest Online Presence at the ADISQ gala in 2021 and 2022. Five years after the release of Bient\u00f4t ce sera No\u00ebl, Damien is back with his new album, Ultraviolet.
