Editor's note

Garou, the voice from Notre-Dame de Paris

A Quebec singer who broke through in musical theater and built a career on pop-rock duets and covers.

For a sense of his style, check out "Un Peu Plus Haut, Un Peu Plus Loin" or his cover of "I Put A Spell On You."

Garou's voice first reached a wide audience in 1997 when he was cast in the musical Notre-Dame de Paris. His international breakthrough came with the duet "Sous le vent" alongside Youssou N'Dour in 2000. Songs like "Un Peu Plus Haut, Un Peu Plus Loin" and "Je Lui Pardonne" show his range across pop and rock styles, and he's worked with artists from Celine Dion to Charles Aznavour.

He started playing guitar in local bands in Quebec before landing the role in Notre-Dame de Paris. After that, he released albums like Garou in 2000 and Reviens in 2003, and won a Victoire de la Musique award for Male Artist of the Year in 2001.
