Ève Cournoyer (May 15, 1969 – August 12, 2012) was a Canadian singer-songwriter from Quebec, most prominent in the 2000s.[1] She was most noted for winning the SOCAN Songwriting Prize in the French division for her song "Tout arrive" in 2006.[2]
Cournoyer began her career in music by writing songs while raising her daughter.[1] She began performing at music venues in Montreal in the late 1990s, before participating in the Francofolies de Montréal in 1999.[1] She released the demo recording Stéréotype 1 that year, before releasing her debut studio album Sabot-de-Vénus in 2002.[1] She won a MIMI Award from the Montreal International Music Initiative in 2003 for her single "Dans les bois".[3]
She followed up with the albums L'Écho in 2005 and Tempête in 2010,[1] and composed music for François Delisle's film Happiness Is a Sad Song (Le bonheur c’est une chanson triste)[4] and You (Toi).[1]
Cournoyer died on August 12, 2012, just days after the release of her final album Le labeur d'une fleur.[5]
