Early life
Toupin was born in Montreal, Quebec, growing up in the city's Rosemont neighbourhood.[2]
Career
Toupin released her first album, Apres Tout, in 1997,[2] and followed this soon after with a self-titled album.[3]
Toupin released Maudit bordel in 2003, and toured in Quebec to support the album,[4] which was a 2004 Juno Award nominee for Francophone Album of the Year.[5][6] In 2004, she sang at the Foire Brayonne music festival in Edmundston, New Brunswick.[3]
Toupin's 2005 album Non-Negociable was certified platinum; a second edition was released in 2007.[3]
Toupin left her manager Eduardo Da Costa, and after working independently and then with the Musicor label, returned to him in 2008; the result was an album of soft rock, À distance, in 2009.[7] That same year she released an album of Christmas music, and in 2010 her sixth album, Premier baiser.[8] Her album À ma manière : onze grands succès, released in 2012, was a collection of songs which had won Quebec's Félix Award.[9]
In 2015, Toupin was criticized in the media for making racist comments on her Facebook page; this led the producers of the Pixcom home renovation television show "Flip de filles" to remove her as co-host.[10][11]
In 2021 she was a competitor in the Quebec edition of Big Brother Célébrités, but voluntarily withdrew after getting drunk and making comments against other competitors which were widely perceived as racist and homophobic.[12]
