Avril Jensen dreamed of being an astronaut. She also wanted to be a screenwriter. In any case, the universe wanted her to become a musician. Following an indie approach, the young singer-songwriter’ pop signature unfolds in both French and English, and sits at the intersection of acoustic and electro music.
Her debut single, Attends (feat. EXKY), was released in the fall of 2021 and has now reached more than 1M streams. In April 2022, she unveiled her debut EP, COLORS (nominated at the GAMIQ 2022 for Best Pop EP), which reflects both personal experiences and musical experimentation. Her song van gogh earned her the SOCAN Foundation Award for Young Canadian Songwriters.
In 2023, the rising newcomer on Quebec’s indie-pop scene appeared on the 9th season of The Voice Quebec, making it all the way to the quarter-finals. She then teamed up with Sarahmée on the single karoshi, appeared on FouKi’s track Get Down, and opened for The Franklin Electric during their fall tour.
In October 2024, the artist released her first full-length album, Is Any of This Real?. This debut album offers an intimate dive into her world, where she gently and sensitively unpacks the questions that inhabit her. Always honing her craft, she will release her first French-language EP this fall. With a soft, captivating voice, she sings both deeply personal themes and fictional narratives — inviting listeners into her immersive and inspiring world.
