Jonah Richard Guimond was 11 years old when he found a guitar in his parents' closet and unwittingly became P'tit Belliveau. Since then, the singer-songwriter from the small francophone community of Baie Sainte-Marie, Nova Scotia, has tackled music with never ending candor and an unconventional spirit.
In 2020, with the help of producer Emmanuel Éthier, he released Greatest Hits Vol.1, an undeniably rich debut album that earned him the awards for Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the GAMIQ and Best Album Production (with Éthier) at the ADISQ Gala, as well as a nomination on the Polaris Music Prize Long List. The young Acadian artist also made it onto several year-end lists, including those of CBC, Apple Music, ICI Musique and the Journal de Montréal. The noteworthy music video he self-directed for the song Income Tax has also reached over 300,000 views on YouTube, and has been the subject of several memes.
In 2021, the multi-instrumentalist released a tribute EP to the late Baptiste Comeau. Now, with a flourishing artistic background and a very promising approach to music production, P'tit Belliveau will launch his second full-length album in 2022.
