Isabelle's soul-filled vocals, together with her strong stage presence and her impressive mane of auburn hair, have won this young singer a huge following of fans in her native Quebec. What's more, Quebec's new diva has now become a firm favourite across French-speaking Europe. --- Born in Ste Félicité, a small town in Gaspésie, in eastern Quebec, on 6 July 1972, Isabelle was the eldest of her parents' three children. The Boulay family owned a restaurant in Ste Félicité and Isabelle was encouraged to sing there for friends and family from an early age. Isabelle also performed in public for the restaurant's clientele and news of the young prodigy soon spread throughout the region. Performing a surprisingly extensive repertoire (which included everything from chanson to country classics), Isabelle soon began entering local singing contests and carried off her first award at the age of seven. --- Constantly travelling back and forth between Quebec and France, the red-haired singer performed at the Palais des Congrès on March 30th and 31th 2002. A few days later she was back in Montreal, Quebec, for two dates at the Wilfried-Pelletier venue where she was accompanied by the Montreal Symphonic Orchestra. Those four concerts were recorded into a live album entitled "Au moment d'être à vous" released exclusively for the European market. Later that year during the 24th gala of the Adisq (Quebec's version of the Brit Awards), she was presented once more with the Prize for the Best Female Singer of the Year.
