Émile Bilodeau

About

The artist

Émile Bilodeau is a Montréal-based singer-songwriter from Longueuil, Quebec. He emerged through Quebec songwriting competitions before releasing Rites de passage in 2016. Its direct, colloquial writing and energetic folk-rock arrangements connected with a broad francophone audience, and Bilodeau received the Félix for Revelation of the Year at the 2017 ADISQ gala. Grandeur mature followed in 2019, then petite nature in 2021, Tout seul comme un grand in 2022, and Au bar des espoirs in 2023. His songs often combine everyday Quebec French, humour, political observation, and collaborative writing. Projects with Innu artists Scott-Pien Picard and Maten include Tshe minupunanu, while his wider catalog includes collaborations with Caroline Savoie and Klô Pelgag. Bilodeau was named Male Performer of the Year at the 2020 ADISQ gala, and petite nature received an Album of the Year, Folk nomination in 2022. His sixth album, Bill aux îles, arrived in September 2025 after writing connected to the Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
