Montreal-based singer, pianist and composer Patrick Watson fashions soundscapes with a subtle balance of organic sounds, electronic textures and rock instrumentation. In 2006, his album Close to Paradise brought him to international attention, followed by five more releases. Winner of the Polaris Music Prize in 2007, and nominated several times at the JUNO Awards and the Polaris, he has toured all over the world. He has also surrounded himself with symphony orchestras, giving a whole new dimension to his music and offering concerts that flirt with emotional trance.

In 2010, Patrick Watson released the single Je te laisserai des mots. More than a decade later, this intimate ballad has racked up over a billion listens on Spotify, and earned him the Viral Music Award in Canada in 2023 at the Socan Gala.

Even if his name doesn't ring a bell, you're bound to have heard his music ... on the big and small screens! His track To Build a Home, co-written with The Cinematic Orchestra, was featured on the soundtracks of Grey's Anatomy, This Is Us and Step Up 4. His track Lighthouse accompanied the film Saint-Laurent (2021), while other of his cult songs found their way into The Walking Dead, The Good Doctor and New Amsterdam.

After sharing the stage with Charlotte Cardin in 2024, the Montreal artist returns solo to deliver a performance worthy of his universe on November 4, 2025 at Le Zénith in Paris!
