Fresh… Tenacious… An exceptional talent… This, in a few words, is Véronic DiCaire. Born in Embrun, a small town in Eastern Ontario in Canada, the singer impersonator has had an extremely fast paced last few years!
She made her incredible debut as a singer impersonator in 2008 when she was selected as the opening act to Celine Dion’s Taking Chances tour for Quebec. Impersonating the great French and American singers, she attracted a tidal wave of media attention.

In 1985, André-Philippe Gagnon first acquired his international reputation. He participated for the first time at the prestigious Montreal Just for Laughs festival with an incredible act, impersonating with accuracy every artist of the song We are the World, the famed song written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and recorded by USA for Africa. Thanks to the success of his performance at the Just for Laughs festival, Gagnon was invited to present his version of We Are the World on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, reaching an audience of 15 million American viewers. The after-effects of this televised performance were immediate. International offers began to come forward, including an invitation to the Victoires de la Musique in Paris and to the gala Cinema Chante in Gstaad, Switzerland, where he had the opportunity to meet Frank Sinatra, one of the artists that he best imitates.
