Always passionate about her music, Geneviève was introduced to the classics of rock music thanks to her brother Eric, a composer and guitarist. He was the one that had her listening to Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Hendrix. He even played their music with his own band. “I grew up listening each and every night after school to my brother’s band rehearsals. They would open the garage door and the neighbourhood kids and myself would come and listen to them.” Consequently, it’s very early on that Geneviève started dreaming about a career in the arts and music. This dream became reality in 1992 when she was chosen as a host by Musiqueplus, a position she held for eight years. Eight fantastic years in which she traveled extensively and especially had the opportunity to meet music’s greatest stars: Madonna, Rod Stewart, the Rolling Stones, Phil Collins and David Bowie.
Before joining Musiqueplus, Geneviève worked in Télévision Quatre Saisons’ newsroom as a receptionist and researcher from 1989 to 1991. “These were turbulent times both on the international and national scene: on the world scene, the Gulf War, the Eastern Bloc countries’greater opening to western influence and the fall of the Berlin wall, and here at home, the Oka crisis, Lake Meech and the Polytechnique drama.”
After which, she joined Météomédia as a reporter in the field of environment. Every day, she would prepare and present a segment on the environment. “The subjects were extremely varied! I had the opportunity of visiting an irradiation plant, explain the phenomenon of shooting stars, meet a farmer who had invented a new fertilizer and an astronaut just back from a space trip.”
As a teenager, Geneviève was also quite passionate about fashion. She participated in many fashion shows as a model and her face graced various advertising campaigns. But she concluded her greatest modeling contract may years later while working at Musiqueplus... Cover-Girl approached her to become the spokesperson for their Quebec campaign entitled Simplement Moi (Simply Me), a prestigious campaign during which she participated in many photo shoots and recorded a TV ad.
It’s in the year 2000 that Geneviève left Musiqueplus for TVA. She then collaborated in various cultural shows before joining in 2001 Dans Ma Caméra, a reality show in which Geneviève herself filmed various artists in true life situations. “I found myself in all sorts of ludicrous situations doing this show… I accompanied Simon Durivage at the car wash, France Castel at her psychiatrist, André Robitaille at his optometrist and Gilles Vigneault at the grave site of poet Émile Nelligan. I also had the occasion of meeting many artists in their homes and was often offered a lovely meal! The fact that I was alone with them and my camera created a tremendous sense of intimacy and resulted in some moments of pure magic.”
Geneviève can also be heard on the radio as part of the Énergie network family. Each weekend, she is the host of the Grand Décompte Énergie and also participates in many special broadcasts.
A true world traveler, she has visited many European countries of which Italy, Spain, France, England, Scotland and Germany, and absolutely fell in love with Prague. Her passion for traveling, she shares with her audience of the Évasion network which has accompanied her on the beaches of French Polynesia, in the Tunisian desert and in the fairytale decors of Vietnam.
And what does Geneviève do with her leisure time? She often acts as a DJ in parties, plays the drums, takes pictures, writes articles for magazines often accompanied by her own pictures, and prepares her next trip!
She absolutely wants to tour the world! Her next destination? Undoubtedly India!
