About Julien Paquin

Raised in an environment suffused with music and creativity, he displayed a natural aptitude for the industry from an early age and in 1993, joined his father, Gilles, as an agent at Paquin Entertainment.

In a short time, Julien fortified the value of his role at the company and developed a vision to push the Agency to new levels. In 1999, propelled by continued dedication and success within the Agency, Julien spearheaded the opening of Paquin Entertainment's Toronto office.

Under Julien's direction, the Agency roster has steadily grown to over 150 acts, representing a broad spectrum of musical styles. Having signed such notable artists as Tegan & Sara, Serena Ryder, Josh Ritter and K'Naan, to name a few, Julien's knack for finding quality talent has been proven time and time again.

The diversity of the talent and genres of artists reflect Julien's vision for the Agency: a diversified, people-oriented organization, providing distinguished service to its roster artists, thereby enhancing their careers and gaining their respect.

Julien's commitment and contribution to both Paquin Entertainment and the industry-at-large continues to be recognized; he recently won his sixth Canadian Country Music Award for Agent of the Year. Although very humble about his successes, Julien continues to have a significant impact on the industry, his peers and the artists he works with.
