About
Roch Voisine is a celebrated Canadian singer-songwriter, born in Edmundston, New Brunswick, in 1963. He rose to prominence in 1989 with Hélène, a French-language ballad that became a runaway success across Quebec and Europe, selling over three million copies. This breakout hit launched a remarkable career that has flourished in both French and English, positioning Voisine as one of the few bilingual artists to achieve widespread success in both markets.
Voisine’s English-language repertoire includes chart-topping favourites such as Kissing Rain and Deliver Me, as well as I’ll Always Be There, produced by David Foster in 1993—one of the most iconic English-language songs of his career. His ability to bridge linguistic and cultural divides has earned him a devoted following in Canada and internationally.
In recognition of his contributions to Canadian music and culture, Voisine was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1997. In 2024, he marked the 35th anniversary of Hélène, a milestone that reflects the enduring power of both the song and the artist behind it.
With a career spanning more than three decades, Roch Voisine continues to record and perform, remaining one of Canada’s most respected and beloved bilingual performers.
