Pierre Garand, better known as Garou, is a Quebecois singer born on June 26, 1972 in Sherbrooke, Quebec.

Profile

Discovered by Luc Plamondon singing American blues tunes in small Sherbrooke bars, he is drafted by Plamondon to play in his musical Notre-Dame de Paris, making him a star. After the musical, he managed to launch a successful international pop music career in Quebec, France, and many other european countries. His looks and hoarse voice, as well as the virility that he combines with a boyish niceness, brought many to see him as a major modern day sex symbol.
