Luc Plamondon, hailing from Saint-Raymond-de-Portneuf, Quebec, discovered his passion for songwriting during his university years in the 1960s. Inspired by works like The Three Penny Opera, he aimed to craft musicals. Witnessing the success of Hair in New York, he envisioned creating rock operas. Returning to Montreal, he collaborated with artists like Céline Dion, Diane Dufresne, and Robert Charlebois. His partnership with Michel Berger birthed Starmania in 1978, a triumph that saw multiple runs globally, captivating over 3 million viewers and selling 5 million albums. Plamondon's repertoire includes acclaimed works like La légende de Jimmy (1990) and Notre Dame de Paris (1998), based on Victor Hugo's novel. Recognized for his contributions, he holds prestigious honours from Quebec and France, along with six Felix Awards. Plamondon is also known as a francophone nationalist and Quebec sovereigntist. He is opposed to Internet music piracy. He is the brother of Louis Plamondon, a long-serving member of the House of Commons of Canada.
