Originally from the small Franco-Ontarian village of Lafontaine and now based in Montreal,  Damien Robitaille is a key figure in the music scene.

A true one-man band, he has won over audiences since 2020 with his original videos, in which he reimagines well-known songs while playing every instrument himself.

Creative, energetic, and versatile, he charms audiences with his unique talent and showmanship. His online success has earned him two consecutive Félix Awards for Artist of the Year with the Greatest Online Presence at the 2021 and 2022 ADISQ galas.

Following the success of Bientôt ce sera Noël, Damien Robitaille is back in full force with his new album Ultraviolet, promising a vibrant and memorable musical experience.
