Marie-Mai Bouchard became a star in Québec after finishing third in the inaugural Star Académie competition—Québec's answer to American Idol—in 2003. Her debut album, Inoxydable, soon followed, giving listeners their first full-length taste of her blend of hard-charging pop-rock and raw, dynamic vocals. She racked up four gold albums in Canada over the next decade, infusing her sound with brighter electro elements and filling her mantle with four Félix Awards for Female Singer of the Year. Her vital, exciting discography roars with shout-along choruses and ear-worm dance hooks alike.
