Philémon Cimon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Philémon Cimon is the stage name of Philémon Bergeron-Langlois, a Canadian singer-songwriter from Quebec.[1] He is most noted as a two-time SOCAN Songwriting Prize nominee, receiving nominations in 2014 for his own song "Soleil blanc"[2] and in 2019 for "Ça va ça va", which was performed by Lou-Adriane Cassidy.[3]

He released his first two recordings, the mini-album EP 2008 (2008) and the full-length album Les Sessions cubaines (2010), under the name Philémon Chante.[4] His first album as Philémon Cimon, L'Été, was released in 2014 and included "Soleil blanc".[5] He released Les femmes comme des montagnes the following year,[6] followed by the four-song EP Psychanalysez-vous avec Philémon Cimon in 2016.[7]

Pays, his fourth full-length album, was released in 2019.[8] The album, inspired by his childhood experiences visiting his grandmother in the Charlevoix region of Quebec, was recorded to four-track tape in the church at Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive, and he cited Pierre Perrault's documentary film Pour la suite du monde as a key influence on the songwriting.[9]

He released the EP Philédouche in 2020.[10]
