Montreal singer, Charlotte Cardin, began her music career at a young age when she started attending singing lessons while in the first grade before becoming the lead singer of her primary school’s rock group.
After being one of the four to perform, to an estimated 2.7million viewers, on the 2013 season finale of TVA’s talent show La Voix, Charlotte could easily have gone the same way as so many other participants in similar shows around the world had before. But instead of disappearing into obscurity her talent was spread further by performing the duet “Du vent, du mots” with Quebec superstar Garou on his 2013 studio album “Au milieu de ma vie” and again the following year for The Voice: la plus belle voix in France.
Cardin released her 6 track EP “Big Boy” earllier this year. It quickly became abest-seller on iTunes Canada. Her vdeos have now earned more than 1.7million views with her most popular being a cover of Radiohead’s Creep with just over 500,000 views. “Big Boy” was the bust-out track that put the 20 year-old in the media crosshairs, earning a slew of high-profile festival dates.
Hello
Good morning!
Good morning! Nice piece, Garfield!
Thanks Janet
It’s so busy in here today I can hardly keep up
Good morning everyone!
Hello Justin!
Hi Justin
Wow! Slow Monday. Is it the time change thing? Being from Sask, I don’t get how that works.
It is true when someone asked you to put the clock forward it fell off the shelf?
Must have been what happened.
Yes, but that was last spring.
yeah, but if I said, put the clock back, it wouldn’t fall off and the “joke” would have failed (even harder)

ha! Nicely done.
That was a fun prank!
Checking in peeps….. quiet today. Tomorrow… as it’s US election day. Hey what’s the topic? Are there any Canadian artists that have sang about elections?
I don’t know if Dan Mangan has sang about the election, but he tweets about it a fair bit.
I have no idea what tomorrow’s topic will be yet, but I am planning a late night so I should have time to come up with something. (unless some one else would rather do it)
I can’t think of any election songs by Canadians. Hmmm.
I am busy tonight so go ahead Garf.
I’ll look around too… the only song I can recall… some song about calling your MP, that’s it.

I’m sorry for the terrible quality of the video, but this is my contribution to the voting songs:

Since everyone else will be talking about the elections tomorrow would it be worth us offering an alternative?
I am thinking putting a musical Canadian view on it is an alternative.
Propagandhi no doubt has plenty of songs that we could use.
The whole Failed States album.
Todays Empires, Tomorrows Ashes.
I would be all for an alternative!
I miss jack layton 🙁
I miss you guys too!
I am leaving on a vacation in a few days and have many loose ends to deal with, not the least of which is getting music onto devices for the road!
@Morgana, I was shocked to realize just how much I missed him when I watched that video
Now we can create a virtual Grant Lawrence to host podcasts for us!
