Biography

Fayo started writing songs at the age of 13. He then sang for the Acadian band Réveil until 1996. In 1999, he would write a Acadian poetry book entitled Taches de naissance (transl. Birthmarks).

Bean Fever).[2] He then goes on tour with two of his friends, Rémi Arsenault (contrabass) and Steven LeBlanc (guitar).
