Philémon Cimon

Philémon Cimon is the stage name of Philémon Bergeron-Langlois, a Canadian singer-songwriter from Quebec. He is most noted as a two-time SOCAN Songwriting Prize nominee, receiving nominations in 2014 for his own song "Soleil blanc" and in 2019 for "Ça va ça va", which was performed by Lou-Adriane Cassidy.

He released his first two recordings, the mini-album ''EP 2008'' (2008) and the full-length album ''Les Sessions cubaines'' (2010), under the name Philémon Chante. His first album as Philémon Cimon, ''L'Été'', was released in 2014 and included "Soleil blanc". He released ''Les femmes comme des montagnes'' the following year, followed by the four-song EP ''Psychanalysez-vous avec Philémon Cimon '' in 2016.

''Pays'', his fourth full-length album, was released in 2019. The album, inspired by his childhood experiences visiting his grandmother in the Charlevoix region of Quebec, was recorded to four-track tape in the church at Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive, and he cited Pierre Perrault's documentary film '' Pour la suite du monde'' as a key influence on the songwriting.

He released the EP ''Philédouche'' in 2020.Léa Martin
