Antoine Corriveau

Antoine Corriveau is a Montreal singer-songwriter. In the musical landscape since 2011, he broke through in 2014 with the critically acclaimed Les ombres longues. That album features the song “Le nouveau vocabulaire,” which won the Prix de la chanson SOCAN (by popular vote). Cette chose qui cognait au creux de sa poitrine sans vouloir s’arrêter was released in October 2016, earning 4 nominations at the Gala de L’ADISQ, making it onto the Polaris Music Prize 2017 Long List, being included among the ten finalists for the Prix Félix Leclerc – and winning the Prix André “Dédé” Fortin, as well as the Indie Rock Album of the Year award at the 2017 GAMIQ. By then the vast Francophone market is already closely monitoring Corriveau’s career, and he is picked as one of the five new voices to watch out for by Le Point (France): “He is often compared to Bashung. It is true that their voices, their writing and their looks are not all that different.” The Feu de forêt EP was released on the Secret City Records label in November 2018, thrilling critics, in addition to winning the Folk EP of the Year award at the 2019 GAMIQ. It also received a four-star review in La Presse, and it was lauded in France and the United States. “More than ever, he remains a genuine treasure. We are blessed to live in the same era as him […]” (Tsugi); “exhilarating, cinematic rock” (Brooklyn Vegan). His 2020 album PISSENLIT further established the melodic and lyrical skills of the artist and won over critics. Three keys from Télérama, ★★★★1⁄2 from Journal de Montréal, 8,5/10 from Le Canal Auditif, ★★★★ from La Presse, in addition to three nominations at the 2021 Gala de l’ADISQ, including Critics’ Choice and Singer-Songwriter of the Year. Antoine Corriveau toured across Québec and opened for Klô Pelgag at the Maroquinerie in Paris and in Belgium to promote the album. In 2025, the artist returns with a fourth LP, Oiseau de Nuit, a rich, explosive record, available April 25 via Secret City Records.
