Pierre Lapointe (born 23 May 1981) is a Canadian singer-songwriter. His work largely follows the tradition of French chanson, though he is influenced by modern pop music. Defining himself as a "popular singer", he has built an egocentric persona of a dandy onstage, but says he does this mostly to deflect attention from himself. His records have found critical and commercial success in Canada. His regular tours in France ensured him growing popularity as well as critical recognition.
