Isabelle Boulay

"When I sing, it's an answer to a need, to a necessity. It's as if I never had the choice. I must sing."
-Isabelle Boulay

Date of Birth: July 6, 1972

Birthplace: Sainte-Flicit, a small town in Quebec's rural Gasp peninsula in Canada

This cutie from Quebec, Canada, is one of the leading voices of French chanson. With a 15-year long career, four albums and over two million copies sold, Isabelle Boulay crowds theaters whether in Montreal or Paris.

She's a strikingly lovely green-eyed redhead. She not only speaks French, she sings it too. And to us, it hardly matters what she sings about. We'd eat snails and pt all day long just to be serenaded by her.

Isabelle Boulay was born on July 6, 1972 in Sainte-Flicit, a small town in Quebec's rural Gasp peninsula in Canada. The eldest of three children, Isabelle showed early signs that she had a voice to be reckoned with. In fact, her parents encouraged her to sing to friends and relatives in the family-owned restaurant.

In no time, Isabelle was singing to the clientele. The young girl, with her chanson and country repertoire, was a local celebrity, attracting visitors from neighboring towns. So it made sense for her to enter regional singing contests. It made a lot of sense: she won her first prize at age 7.

A bizarre event, which certainly influenced the honest longing felt in her chants, marked Isabelle's childhood. Her father suffered a serious accident and moved out of the house to live in the woods. She didn't see him again until just before his death in 1995.
