Post Description

Born Marilou Bourdon on September 20, 1990 in Longueuil, Quebec, Marilou was a pop singer who got her start on the 2001 television talent show Stars In The Home. In 2002, she recorded a duet with Gino Quilico, which land her even more television appearances. Her work gained the attention of René Angélil - the man behind the success of Celine Dion - who helped her score a contract with Sony Canada and Sony France. Her debut album, The Girl Who Sings, was released in 2005 in Canada and Europe. Her follow up, Marilou, was released in both locations in May and June of 2007. 

As she neared her 18th birthday, Marilou's artistic ambitions changed and she decided to try her hand at songwriting. Inspired by artists she admired like Alanis Morissette, John Mayer and Muse, she collaborated with numerous writers and quickly produced no less than 30 songs. At the same time, she was introduced to Sam and JB, two young Montreal hotshot producers who were gifted musicians as well. The three of them locked themselves in Montreal's Piccolo Studio and recorded her latest album 60 Thoughts A Minute. Featuring 13 songs co-written by Marilou, the album was mixed by Tom Lord-Alge and mastered by Ted Jensen. It marks the beginning of Marilou's adult career.
