Profile

Discovered by Luc Plamondon singing American blues tunes in small Sherbrooke bars, he was drafted by Plamondon to play the role of Quasimodo in his musical Notre-Dame de Paris, making him a star. After the musical, he managed to launch a successful international pop music career in Quebec, France, and many other European countries. His looks and hoarse voice, as well as the virility that he combines with a boyish charm, brought many to see him as a major modern day sex symbol. In 2000, Garou recorded a duet with Celine Dion called "Sous le Vent." For his first album in English, Garou cooperated with some of the biggest names in music. The single "Stand Up" was written by Rob Thomas, the song "First Day of My Life", a big hit all over Europe in 2006 for former Spice Girl Melanie C, by Guy Chambers and Enrique Iglesias.

Garou has a daughter named Emelie, with his ex-girlfriend, Ulrika, a former model.1 He is currently engaged to French singer Lorie.2

He played the role of Quasimodo in the stage musical Notre Dame De Paris and appears on both the French and English soundtracks
