One of the most celebrated guitarists in Canada & Quebec, virtuoso of the cult instrument and backbone of rock, Stephane is a self taught Guitarist. Known for his wicked work as Lead Guitarist with the early 90's smash group Saints & Sinners, who sold 50,000 copies of their debut album in the 1st month. .. .. .. Stephane shoulda won Guitar Rookie of the year, for His Fist Pumpin', Foot Stompin' massively electrifying grooves & riffs on the Saints & Sinners debut CD, His songwriting skills shine through on radio rockers like "Walk That Walk", "Shake", "Rip It Up", "Frankenstein", "We Belong" and the SMASH chart topping ballad "Takin' My Chances"... .. .. .. Stephane went on to develop a musical union with Quebec superstar Éric Lapointe. Dufour gave soul to the second Eric Lapointe album and was the producer of his three most recent, best selling releases with harder hitting guitars. This evolution in Dufour’s sound came from the opportunity to unleash his playing, songwriting and producing expertise on his own solo project, Distortion, aimed at music lovers as well as the hard-core guitar fans. This project, layered with feeling and superior craft, began the relationship with Lapointe’s record label and garnered a 2000 ADISQ nomination. .. .. .. Apart from Dufour’s playing and producing, he is an accomplished songwriter – with Éric Lapointe as well as writing for other artists including: France D’Amour, Mélanie Renaud, Luce Dufault, Dubmatique, Garou, Mario Pelchat, Marc Dupré as well as movie soundtracks on “Les dangereux “starring some of Quebec s biggest comedy names and Les Boys I, II and III which were among the most successful movies ever in Quebec. Stephane has also collaborated on songs with renowned author Luc Plamondon. .. .. .. From his basement in Montreal, Stephane has built himself a studio and produced some of Quebecs most successful songs and albums. From his first studio production of his own instrumental CD created with what he had in hand ex. Zoom, Roland D4 he managed to push the limits of these tools and develop a sound that started his trademark and eventually led to multiple successes and access to better tools. Stephane works to constantly upgrade his home studio to eventually build a fully equipped recording facility. .. .. .. ....~ N U M B E R ~ 1 ~ S O N G S ~ ........ - LE BONHEUR ME TUE (Dufour/Lapointe).. - BOYS LES (Lapointe/Dufour).. - CELIBATAIRE (Dufour/Lapointe/Gosselin).. - CONFIDENTE (Lemay/Rochon/Tourville/Dufour).. - D L AMOUR J EN VEUX PUS (Tabra/Lapointe/Plamandon/Dufour).. - DEUX FOIS LA MEME HISTOIRE (Lapointe/Tabra/Dufour).. - ELLE DORT AVEC MOI (Lapointe/Tabra/Dufour).. - JE REVE ENCORE (Lapointe/Tabra/Dufour).. - LAISSE MOI SEUL (Tabra/Dufour/Lapointe).. - LOADE COMME UN GUN (Tabra/Lapointe/Dufour).. - MOTEL 117 (Lapointe/Tabra/Dufour).. - ON COMMENCE A SE QUITTER (Lapointe/Tabra/Pineault/Dufour).. - OUVRE MOI (Dufour/Lapointe/Gosselin).. - RESTE LA (Dufour/Lapointe).. - RIEN A REGRETTER (Lapointe/Tabra/Dufour).. - TENDRE FESSE (Lapointe/Dufour).. - VA T EN PAS (Rochon/Dufour).. - VIVANTE (Rochon/Lamarre/Dufour).... .. .. ....~ T O P ~ T E N ~ S O N G S ~........ - LE BOYS BLUES BAND (Lapointe/Dufour).. - COEUR AU VIF (Lapointe/Tabra/Dufour).. - FAIS UN BUM DE TOI (Dufour/Lapointe/Desrochers).. - INVITEZ LES VAUTOURS (Lapointe/Tabra/Dufour).. - LETTRE A MA MERE (Lemay/Rochon/Dufour).. - MARCHE OU CREVE (Lapointe/Dufour).. - NE ME PARLEZ PLUS D ELLE (Tabra/Lapointe/Dufour).. - ON FAIT L AMOUR (Dufour/Lapointe).... .. .. .. .. ....C R E D I T S...... ....Producer credits...... ..Invitez les vautours, Éric Lapointe (co-producer).... - 1997 ADISQ Rock Album of the Year Award (100,000+ Sales).. ..À l’ombre de l’ange, Éric Lapointe.... - 2000 ADISQ Rock Album of the Year Award.. - 2000 ADISQ Best Selling Album of the Year Award.. - 200,000+ Sales.. ..Distortion, Stephane Dufour.... - First instrumental album, received nomination at l ADISQ.. ..Adrénaline, Éric Lapointe.... - Released on April 20th, 2002, Topped Chart with sales 150,000+.. ..Célibataire, Hugo Lapointe 2004.... - Released on May 18th 2004, first single went to .. 1.. ..Coupable, Eric Lapointe 2004.... - Released on November 2nd 2004.. - Top charted with three consecutive .. 1 Singles. .. - Sales to date of over 100,000 units.. - Nominated for best rock album 2005.. .. .. ....Musical Direction...... ..À l’ombre de l’ange, Éric Lapointe – the show.... - 2000 ADISQ Show of the Year Award..
