Biography

Paul Cormier (May 10, 1922 – June 7, 2006) was a Quebecois violinist known by his stage name, Monsieur Pointu.

Born in Les Escoumins on Quebec's North Shore into a family of traveling musicians, Cormier began learning the fiddle at age nine. He served in the military during World War II.

In his early career, Cormier played violin on CBJ radio in Chicoutimi and later performed in Montreal’s dance clubs and hotels. He collaborated with artists such as Willie Lamothe, Marcel Martel, Roger Miron, and Paul Brunelle, and also performed as a solo opening act. During the 1970s, he toured Europe and Africa alongside singer Gilbert Bécaud, adopting the stage name Monsieur Pointu, and hosted a folk music television series on Télé-Métropole.

Cormier contributed the soundtrack for an animated film about his music titled Monsieur Pointu, which received an Academy Award nomination in 1976. In 1977, he performed at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium during the Fête Nationale before an audience of 40,000.

He passed away on June 6, 2006, in Blainville, Quebec. Following his death, his violin was donated to the Jules Saint-Michel violin museum.
