Bruno Pelletier rarely looks back. The one who has won the title of male performer of the year at ADISQ three times and who is considered one of the greatest voices of the French-speaking world is rather the type to multiply projects in the hope that one of ‘them comes to fruition.
It must be said that he never waited for the phone to ring and never made a long-term plan. An entrepreneur at heart, he showed perseverance and determination that honor him.

After learning in bars and having suffered several rejections – from record companies and singing competitions – he was discovered by the general public at the age of 30. Six years later, he considered throwing in the towel, but the song To pity Then Notre Dame de Paris changed everything.
“I was not given this career, the construction of which was laborious. I didn’t stop being in action to present my projects and that’s how I ended up finding my place,” said Bruno Pelletier in an interview with the QMI Agency. “It’s a lot of arm oil, work, hours. I am at the stage of saying that I am proud to have made it this far.”

We witness the exceptional journey of the singer of the song The Cathedrals Time in the documentary Bruno Pelletier – The time has come…which is broadcast this Thursday, at 9 p.m., on TVA.
The 60 minutes make it possible to complete the loop of a project in three stages also made up of the biography Bruno Pelletier – The time has come…by Samuel Larochelle, as well as the album of original songs …Because the time has come, whose themes are inspired by the book. This triptych highlights his 40 years of career and his 60 springs, but we would have taken more, because the hour, embellished with music, passes too quickly.

We find Bruno Pelletier in his early days, when he had a very Bon Jovi look, Dagobert version, with his groups Amanite, Sneak Preview and Pëll. We hear him sing with Céline Dion on December 31, 1999 at the Molson Center and we offer testimonies from Luc Plamondon, Richard Séguin and his sister Dominique.
In fact, it was Plamondon, one of our greatest lyricists, who opened the doors to the entertainment industry wide for him by hiring him to The legend of Jimmyin 1992. “It’s my game changer!” said Bruno Pelletier.

Then, Plamondon called him back to Starmania (1993 to 1995) and for Notre Dame de Paris, a show that Bruno Pelletier inaugurated in 1998 in the City of Lights. This mega production allowed it to shine throughout the French-speaking world, in Asia and even in Russia. Not worse for a guy who only dreamed of performing on the stage of his school in Charlesbourg.
Bruno Pelletier continues to fuel his projects and he says he takes care of his voice more than ever, like an athlete. It still remains as beautiful as it is powerful. “It’s normal to want to take great care of the instrument. I give myself discipline when I have several shows in a week. I would like to be able to sing for another 10-15 years if life is good for me.”

And as time passes, Bruno Pelletier concentrates on his stuff. “You never know, but the more it goes on, the more I want to be in my solo projects.”
