Virginie B's irresistible quirkiness is matched only by her boundless creativity. The singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist’s unique take on hyperpop incorporates touches of nu-jazz, funk and R&B, complemented with a sophisticated conceptual approach and a pronounced taste for maximalism and glamour.
Accompanied by her talented collaborator and co-producer Louis Jeay-Beaulieu, she applies this distinctive and versatile combination of genres to the exploration of her psyche, her femininity, and her relation to technology and nature. Her music is an outlet through which she expresses her desires and excesses without taking herself too seriously, reflecting her vulnerability and confidence.
Virginie B's irresistible quirkiness is matched only by her boundless creativity. The singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist offers a unique reappropriation of hyperpop by incorporating touches of nu-jazz, funk and R&B, complemented with a refined conceptual approach inherited from art pop. Accompanied by her talented collaborator and co-producer Louis Jeay-Beaulieu, she applies this distinctive and versatile combination of genres to the exploration of her psyche, femininity and relation with technology and nature. The result is an outlet through which she expresses her desires and excesses without taking herself too seriously, reflecting her vulnerability and confidence.
Visuals play a fundamental role in Virginie B's creative process. Whenever she’s able to see clear mental images while listening to the music she’s working on, she knows she's onto something. Coming from a self-taught musical background, she developed a working symbiosis with Louis that strives for exploration by blending instinct and technique. This teamwork enables Virginie B to develop a strong visual and conceptual identity for each of her songs while maintaining a coherence that makes her work instantly recognizable: a pronounced taste for maximalism, glamour, eccentricity and hyper-femininity lies at the core of her aesthetic.
Following INSULA, her debut album released independently in 2022, Virginie B returned in September 2024 with Astral 2000, a second opus that blends catchy melodies, stylistic experimentation, and intricate textures with poetry that is at once introspective, profound, and accessible. Astral 2000 has garnered growing recognition since its release, culminating in a nomination at the 2025 ADISQ Gala in the Breakthrough Artist of the Year category. In 2026, Virginie B continues to showcase her talent on stage, notably at OSHEAGA and the Francos de Montréal.

Charles Rioux, Radio-CanadaVirginie B verse dans l’hyperpop avec brio sur Astral 2000, un album fort original et soigné.
L’actualitéCe qui rend Astral 2000 particulièrement intéressant, c’est aussi la capacité de l’artiste à proposer une pop véritablement singulière, riche en contrastes et en relief, en y injectant un peu de nu-jazz, de funk et de R&B.
