Audrey De Montigny

Audrey De Montigny is a Canadian singer. She was born in Ste.-Julienne, Quebec on July 26, 1985. She rose to fame by placing fourth on the debut season of "Canadian Idol".

Her career began in 2003, when she auditioned for the 2003 debut season of "Canadian Idol". As a Québécoise she could speak little English, but was praised for her renditions of English songs (and her emotional connection to the music) as she learned quickly during the competition. Both her singing and her personality won her a substantial fan base during the competition, and she made it to the Final Four.

After her stint on "Canadian Idol", De Montigny was signed by 19 Entertainment and BMG Canada. Her father was her manager, and he sold his home to help his daughter with her career. She released her debut single "Même Les Anges" on November 4th, 2003. The single debuted at #2 on the Canadian singles chart and stayed on the chart for 28 weeks. In Quebec, the single was #1 for 11 consecutive weeks.

In April 2004 her debut album "Audrey" which contained a mix of French and English songs (mostly French) was released. She sold 35,000 albums. Her second single "Dis-Moi Pourquoi" was a top 10 hit in Quebec.

Her album was nominated for a 2004 Juno Award as Francophone album of the year.

De Montigny separated from BMG and 19E in order to have more artistic control over her second album. Her family started their own label called DEM Musique.

In June 2006 her debut single from her second album "Si l'Amour Existe" (out September 26th, 2006) is being released to radio. It is called "Prends-Moi Comme Je Suis"

Audrey de Montigny had her first international success "Here We Are" after an association with producer/singer Steve Barakatt. The association with Steve Barakatt allowed Audrey de Montigny to release John Lennon's song "Love" for the Amnesty International "Make Some Noise" project.
