My favorite singer: Bruno Pelletier As many people I’ve heard his voice in the musical "Notre Dame De Paris" in first time. It was just an audio recording and I didn’t know anything about the singer with a magical voice. But since then Bruno Pelletier’s work and life have admired and inspired me. Bruno Pelletier was born in Charlesbourg, a suburb of Quebec City and when he was seven years old, his father gave him a guitar. Music became main passion of his life. He performed in the bands which sang in English, but later he started a group called “Pëll”, singing in French. At 23 years old, he moved to Montreal, where he sang in bars. Because of the tobacco smoke in the bars, Bruno almost lost his voice. To recover, he had to abstain for some time not only from singing, but from conversations, which was hard for him. He also entered vocal courses to fully restore his voice. One of the most important points of Pelletier’s career is meeting with Luc Plamondon, a French-Canadian lyricist and music executive. He is best known for his work on the musicals “Starmania” and “Notre-Dame de Paris” in which Pelletier was invited to participate. He became widely known all over the world after the brilliant performance of the role of the poet Gringoire in the musical “Notre-Dame de Paris”. But Bruno never stays within the strict limits of one genre of music. Before his participate in musicals he released his first self-titled album. Then he worked with the prestigious Symphonic Orchestra of Montreal, and many people thought that his real calling was opera. But after that he released a jazz album titled “Bruno Pelletier et le GrosZorchestre”. He brilliantly performed his own and others authors’s well-known songs in jazz-version. His range as a singer is truly amazing. Bruno Pelletier has received a lot of awards, and he is deservedly called, the “Golden voice of Quebec”. The main part of his songs was written by Pelletier himself - both music and lyrics. The themes of his songs are very diverse - about modern society’s problems, about the relationship between fathers and children and about love of course. A very shy person, he is extremely frank in his songs. And maybe because of this a lot of people are so fond of his songs and even learn French to understand them.
