I live in Montreal, a city as decadent as an overripe peach. In case you’ve never been here, it’s irrational, dirty, big-hearted and bleeding-edge new, with crumbling infrastructure, full of loud talkers speaking every language, good beer, chocolate, poutine, bagels and gelato, and women walking with linked arms, where everybody smokes, stays up late, has at least one little dog, and kisses you on both cheeks.
Me, I’m open to life, adventurous, natural, intuitive, spontaneous…yep, all of that.
I like weekend and world travel. I want to go new places literally and figuratively. Being outside our comfort zone makes us look at the world and ourselves with new eyes.

La Belle Province 
Hello,
I don’t know who you are, but I saw my name in you list of singers and I was wondering if it was me… hehe… Young opera singer?
Anyway, just wanted to say hi, and read a bit more about you. (I may be stupid or something, but I can’t seem to find your name!)
Happy year 2007!
Etienne Dupuis
Salut Etienne! Yes, I was referring to you as one of my favourite singers. You have a lot of talent and I can’t wait to see how your career develops. A happy year, full of good things to you as well!
