Born September 28, 1969, in Pointes-Aux-Trembles, Quebec, Lapointe acquired his first guitar at age nine, and a year later wrote his first songs. By 15, he was playing local clubs, ultimately capturing the attention of Yves-François Blanchet, president of the Quebec record industry association ADISQ, who agreed to become his manager.
