About William Cloutier:

From the wild adventure of Mixmania to his memorable performance in Starmania ten years later, one thing is certain: the winner of Star Académie 2021 has made a name for himself in the Quebec music scene. Performing as a trio, accompanied by Antoine Tousignant on guitar and Marie Anne Tessier on drums, he delivers his songs with raw energy and disarming intimacy.

From the biggest hits of his album *On ira*—with over 5 million streams—to the more recent tracks from his album *L’amour*, released in March 2025, William delivers a vibrant show carried by an exceptional voice. A stripped-down yet emotionally rich format, where each song becomes a true moment of sincere connection.
