Ponteix

About

The artist

Ponteix is an active Fransaskois psychedelic-pop project led by multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer, and mixer Mario Lepage and currently based in Montréal, Quebec. The exact Spotify artist 1v0LRrF0AKvsTKrzNqVTEl aligns with the artist-controlled Ponteix website, MusicBrainz artist 0fe65217-849f-4cdd-b050-71d6363f0c0d, Wikidata item Q134689765, and current Canadian arts profiles. Lepage comes from St. Denis, Saskatchewan, and named the project after a Fransaskois community whose cultural resilience reflects his own writing about language, place, and minority identity. Ponteix began under its current name in 2015 and developed from an early trio into a project that Lepage records and leads, with a flexible live lineup of multi-instrumentalists. Its sound brings psychedelic electronic pop together with indie rock, R&B, synth textures, layered guitars, and grooves shaped by prairie scale and urban movement. The collision-reviewed principal Spotify catalog in Canada contains fifteen album and single containers from May 13, 2016 through April 23, 2026. MusicList counts two albums, three four- to six-track EPs, and ten other singles. Representative releases include J'orage, Bastion, Amélia, and Le canadien errant. The 2025 second album Le canadien errant follows the experience of a minority francophone settling in a major francophone city and includes collaborations with Louis-Jean Cormier, Laurence-Anne, Marco Ema, and others. Current 2025 reporting identifies the Saskatchewan-born trio as established in Montréal, while a May 2026 National Arts Centre biography and the April 2026 collaboration Quel tourment ! confirm continuing activity. Ponteix won Francophone Artist of the Year at the 2025 Western Canadian Music Awards. Lepage's wider production practice includes producer awards from both the Western Canadian Music Awards and Saskatchewan Music Awards in 2019.
