Richard Séguin is a celebrated francophone singer-songwriter from Quebec, Canada, whose career has been marked by a deep lyrical introspection and a dedication to folk and rock music intricately tied to his French-Canadian roots. Born on March 27, 1952, in Pointe-aux-Trembles, Séguin's musical journey began in the 1970s as part of the duo Les Séguin alongside his twin sister, Marie-Claire Séguin. After gaining recognition in their collaborative work, Richard embarked on a solo career that would cement his status as a prominent figure in Canadian music.

His dynamic and soulful approach to storytelling is reflected in a rich discography that includes titles like "Les liens les lieux" and "Un peu de poésie," where Séguin's poetic touch and evocative songwriting resonate with audiences. His reverence for the natural world and thoughtful commentary on life's intricacies are evident in "Retour à Walden - Sur les pas de Thoreau," an album that pays homage to the philosophies of Henry David Thoreau. Séguin continues to connect with fans through live recordings, such as "Écho (Live 2008 à Terrebonne, Sainte-Geneviève et Waterloo)," showcasing the raw energy and emotion of his performances. With a career that spans several decades, Séguin's authentic voice and commitment to the craft have made him a beloved and respected artist in the tapestry of Canadian music culture.
