Biography
Born in Hamilton, Ontario of an Acadian father originating from Tracadie–Sheila and a mother originating from Matane, the Gaspé Peninsula in Quebec, Jean-François Breau grew up in Tracadie–Sheila, on the Acadian Peninsula, in the Gloucester county of New Brunswick. He presently resides in Quebec.
After finishing his secondary education, Jean-Francois studied medicine. He was a health major at University of Moncton's Shippagan Campus to become a cardiologist. But his love of music prevailed.
In 2004, he took over the lead role in another musical comedy Don Juan of Félix Gray. His role was opposite the lead role of Marie-Ève Janvier. The show had 350 presentations in Canada, France and South Korea, and the album from the show featuring songs by Breau sold 350,000 worldwide.
Breau launched his first solo album in 2001 the self-titled Jean-François Breau on Quartett Music, followed by a second solo album Exposé in 2006 with ICI Musique.
In 2008, he toured Quebec with Marie-Ève Janvier, his girlfriend. In the summer of 2009, they recorded their first joint album entitled Donner pour donner, followed by a second joint album La vie à deux released on 19 September 2011. The joint single "J'ai un problème", a cover of a 1973 Johnny Hallyday and Sylvie Vartan song, became a big hit for Jean-François Breau and Marie-Ève Janvier.
They both took part in a revival of Don Juan in February 2012 where Breau played the role of Don Juan opposite Janvier in the role of Maria. This was followed by joint promotional tour called La vie à deux tour in Quebec in Spring 2012.
