Stéphane (Stef) Paquette (born 1973 in Chelmsford, Ontario) is a Franco-Ontarian singer-songwriter and actor from Canada.
A founding member of the band Les Chaizes Muzikales in 1993, Paquette launched a solo career in 2002 with his first solo album, L'Homme exponentiel. His second solo album, Salut de l'arrière pays, was released in 2011 and won a number of awards, including the Prix Trille Or from the Association des professionels de la chanson et de la musique in 2013.[1] In January 2014, he won five of the seven prizes at the annual Contact ontarois music competition, with his prize package including an extensive series of music festival bookings across Canada.[2]
In 2009, he appeared on the debut album by Patricia Cano, as a duet vocalist on the track "Nada de nieve". In 2011, he participated as a supporting musician in a reunion tour by the rock band CANO.[3]
Paquette is also known as an improv comedian and actor, whose television roles have included Météo+, Les Bleus de Ramville[4] and Hard Rock Medical. Paquette is one of the three lead actors in the feature film Perspective.
In addition, he is currently an afternoon host on CHYC-FM in Sudbury, and performed at a rally in Sudbury on April 5, 2009, to protest staff cutbacks at CBCS-FM, the city's CBC Radio One station.[5]
