His work largely follows in the tradition of French chanson, though he is influenced by modern pop music. Defining himself as a \"popular singer\", he has built an egocentric persona of a dandy onstage, but says he does this mostly to deflect attention from himself. His records have found critical and commercial success in Canada."@en . . . . "Canadian singer" . "1981-05-23Z"^^ . . . . . .
