‘Being French-Canadian, art is a vital part to me, of my everyday life. It is through art, whether it be music, painting, movies or storytelling, that intimately connects to my identity and I love being surrounded by artists that make me discover new sights, sounds and tell me their story. Storytelling is what humanizes us and connects us because at the end of the day, we all have common stories that binds us together as a people.'
