Peltier, Bruno

Bruno Peltier was interested in music from an early age. When the boy was 7 years old, his father gave him a guitar.

In 1983 in Charlebur, he and his friends began performing in the English-language rock bands Amanite and Sneak Preview. He later founds the Pell band, which has a repertoire in French. At the age of 23, he moves to live in Montreal, where he performs in bars. Due to problems with the vocal cords, he is forced to refrain from singing for a while, and then enrolled in singing courses to restore his voice.

At first, Bruno disagrees - the singer was on a solo tour - but then he nevertheless joins the troupe of the new musical Luke Plamondon and Riccardo Kochchante ( fr. Richard Cocciante ) Notre Dame de Paris . Bruno brilliantly plays the role of the poet Gringoire, who made him famous outside Quebec.

Bruno Peltier is the official representative of the Children's Dreams Charitable Foundation ( Fr. Rêves d'enfants ). In 2001, together with his friend Sylvan Cosset, Bruno recorded the single “À travers toi”, all the proceeds from the sale of which went to the fund.

“Children are so precious. Their smiles illuminate our days ... their laughter sounds like a quiet echo in our ears, and their dreams shape the future ... But when the child is unwell, only faded smiles and disappearing laughter can be seen on his face, and his dreams seem unattainable to him. “Children's Dreams” is a Canadian federal organization that was created to help children with diseases that endanger their lives. It is with the help of organization that these children can finally see how their dreams become reality. We have never said no to a sick child, and with your support we can continue our business. The fulfillment of a child’s dream is wonderful ... and with your help we will become wizards! ”

P. Mancuso, Director, Quebec Dream Group
