About

The artist

Mario Pelchat is a singer, songwriter, record producer, and label director professionally active in Saint-Joseph-du-Lac, Quebec. Originally from Quebec, Pelchat released a first single in 1981 and built a francophone pop career through recordings, touring, and musical theatre. The artist-controlled discography begins with Je suis un chanteur in 1982, while the exact Spotify identity currently contains twenty-five principal album and single containers available in Canada from 1988 through March 2026. Spotify classifies twenty as albums and five as singles. Major catalogue points include the double-platinum Pelchat, the self-produced VII era, Comme au premier rendez-vous, and Duos de mes 60 ans. The newest album was introduced by MP3 Disques in October 2025 and reached streaming services in March 2026 with thirteen duets. Its collaborators include Ginette Reno, Patrick Bruel, Isabelle Boulay, Garou, Lynda Lemay, Daniel Lavoie, Bruno Pelletier, Anggun, Anne Sila, and others, with Rick Allison credited for artistic direction. Pelchat's production career is directly documented by the artist-controlled biography and current industry profiles. After producing his own records, Pelchat produced J'avoue by Cindy Daniel, developed the multi-artist Quand le country dit bonjour project, produced Nadja's first album, and released further projects through MP3 Disques. MusicList therefore includes Pelchat in both the artist and producer directories. No recording, mixing, or mastering engineering role is inferred. Career distinctions documented by the official biography include Male Performer of the Year, Album of the Year for Pelchat, and multiple gold and platinum certifications. The current MP3 release announcement also confirms a return as a coach on La Voix in 2026. Current professional relationships include MP3 Disques for production and label activity, GO Musique for live booking, and Musicor's current artist roster. Pelchat and Claire Lemaître also publicly operate Domaine Pelchat Lemaître-Auger in Saint-Joseph-du-Lac, whose current official site documents their active 2026 professional presence there. MusicList uses that public professional location without publishing a private residence.
