Aleksi Campagne
Aleksi Campagne is a Canadian singer-songwriter, who won the Canadian Folk Music Award for French Songwriter of the Year at the 19th Canadian Folk Music Awards in 2024 for his album For the Giving / Sans rien donner.
The son of folk musicians Connie Kaldor and Paul Campagne, he studied classical and jazz violin in university. He released a self-titled debut album in 2018.
For the Giving / Sans rien donner, released in 2023, is a 20-song double album, featuring ten songs in both English and French versions. Although fluently bilingual, he collaborated with his aunt Michelle Campagne to translate the lyrics into French due to the complications inherent in translating song lyrics. Le Devoir gave the album a favourable review, comparing its blend of folk, jazz and indie pop influences to both Patrick Watson and Half Moon Run.
He also performs with his mother as both a supporting musician in her band and an opening act.
