In 1983 in Charlesbourg, he and some friends started English-speaking rock groups called Amanite and Sneak Preview. After that, wanting to perform in French, he started a group called Pëll. At 23 years old, he moved to Montréal, where he sang in bars. In 1989, he participated in the rock competition Envol, where he was awarded a special mention for the quality of his music. In 1991, he had a role in the musical Vu d'en haut, presented at the Festival of the Montgolfières in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. The following year, he joined the musical spectacle Les fous du rockn'roll, which he performed forty times.
In November 1992, he played the role of the teenager in the rock opera La Légende de Jimmy, by Luc Plamondon and Michel Shepherd.
In October 1992, he released his first, self-titled album. He then played the role of Johnny Rockfort in the rock opera Starmania, also by Luc Plamondon. He performed the role in Paris for more than six months.
In the summer of 1994, he was invited to participate in the FrancoFolies de La Rochelle, where he sang songs written by Luc Plamondon.
In September 1994, Bruno returned to the Mogador Theater in Paris to resume his role in Starmania until the end of the year. He also recorded his second album, Défaire l'Amour.
The year 1997 proved to be one of the best for Bruno with several concerts with symphonic orchestras and many festivals. In the fall of that year, he became more known with his third studio album, Miserere, which surpassed 200,000 sales. He also won the Félix award for male singer of the year. At the same time, he appeared on the Quebec TV series Omertà II.
Between January and August 1998, Bruno performed more than 100 concerts in Quebec. After that, he went to Paris to play the role of Gringoire in the Luc Plamondon-Richard Cocciante musical Notre-Dame de Paris, which was an international success.
In 1999, he released his fourth album, D'autres rives, simultaneously in Europe and Quebec. During this period, he also performed the role of Gringoire in the English-language production of Notre-Dame de Paris in London.
In 2001 he released a live album, Sur Scène.
In August 2002 he released his sixth album, Un Monde à l'envers.
During this period, he worked with the prestigious Symphonic Orchestra of Montréal for the series Les Week-ends pop de l'OSM. As the event was a big success, he united with the orchestra a second time in December 2002 to present a Christmas series, recorded as the album Concert de Noël.
Bruno's latest project is the musical Dracula - Entre l'amour et la mort, a modern retelling of the Dracula story, in which he will play the title role starting in February 2006. The cast album has already been released.

Bruno Pelletier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tout ce qui t'attend dehors
Quand la vie te jettera dans la gueule du loup
Quand tu reviens de l'école
En me posant des colles
Sur la vie ou tout autre sujet tabou
Mmm
C´est la seule vraie raison de vivre
Le plus dur des chemins à suivre
Ça ne s'apprend pas dans les livres
Aime! c´est la loi de la Bible
Le rêve encore possible d'un univers
Où tous les hommes seraient des frères
Voila pourquoi, moi je te dis "aime"
Mords aux fruits du paradis
Vis ta vie sans interdit
Oublie même tout ce que l'on t'aura appris
Et comme (comme), comme l'animal qui a froid (comme)
Comme l'animal qui a faim
Il faudra bien que seul tu apprennes à survivre
Oh oh-oh
Moi je te dis "aime"
C´est la seule vraie raison de vivre
Le plus dur des chemins à suivre
Ça ne s'apprend pas dans les livres
Aime! c´est la loi de la Bible
Le rêve encore possible d'un univers
Où tous les hommes seraient des frères
Voila pourquoi moi je te dis "aime"
C'est la seule vraie raison de vivre
Le plus dur des chemins à suivre
Ça ne s'apprend pas dans les livres
Aime! fais-en ta règle d'or
Contre la loi du plus fort
Et quoiqu'il advienne
Je voudrais que tu te souviennes
D'un seul mot de ton Père
Aime!
The song "Aime" by Bruno Pelletier is a message of love, hope, and encouragement to his child or someone he cares about. The lyrics are written in a style of a father, advising his child about the harsh realities of life and how to survive in this world. He asks his child to sleep soundly since they don't know what is waiting out there, and once he awakens, live a life without limitations, no matter what people have taught them. The dad shares his wisdom and tells the child that loving others and being loved is the greatest thing one can do, and is the sole purpose of life. It's not something one can learn in books, but aim to incorporate it as a way of life. Pelletier urges his child to experience life to the fullest, enjoy its fruits, forget what they were taught, learn to survive on their own, and live life in a way that connects them with nature like animals. The chorus repeats the same message, Bruno telling his child to "Aime" (Love), which is the only true reason to live, the most challenging path to take, a dream of a world where all humans could be siblings.
The song's message is insightful in many ways. Bruno Pelletier's "Aime" teaches about cherishing the most important things in life, such as love and compassion, and adopting happiness in life. Regardless of today's rapidly changing world, where everyone is diverted from the fundamental values of humanity, the song emphasizes how these values can be crucial in life. Bruno urges us to live our lives without reservations, free to explore new things happily. It encourages everyone to learn how to protect themselves and love their neighbor as taught in the Bible to the best of their capacity. It's all demonstrated by the chorus, not just with the message encoded on it, but the way it's delivered with love, passion, and empathy.

Bruno Pelletier, you are a good man
I'm proud of being your friend in thoughts.
This world needs more singers-writers like you.
Only the brotherhood of music and arts will save this world
So many people are confused and lost.
Many young people have lost hope
They do not believe in love anymore.
This generation is coldhearted

Bravo Bruno, c'est excellent tu as une voix extraordinaire je t'aime beaucoup...

une grande chanson qui devrait être entendu internationalement. La plus grande chanson de Bruno pour moi (je le considère dans le top 5 des voix au Québec). Une chanson que j'ai appris par cœur à 9 ans.

@ND Jubilant Je l'ai chanté à mes nièces et mon neveu dernièrement dans mon studio d'enregistrement. J'espère qu'ils ont compris/senti le message. :)
ND Jubilant
Oui, absolument. Je suis anglophone et je considère une de mes missions dans la vie de faire en sorte que tout le monde connaît cette très belle chanson.

La plus belle voix de Quebec. Beautiful voice and song.✌💟

Je remercie la vie chaque jour que mon enseignante de 2e année du primaire nous ait fait écouter cette chanson. Elle m'a marquée à vie, encore à ce jour je l'écoute dans les moments difficiles. Je me souviens, elle nous avait fait coucher sur le plancher du gymnase de l'école et nous avait dit "Fermez-vos yeux, ouvrez vos oreilles et laissez les paroles entrer vos coeurs". C'est exactement ce qui est arrivé pour moi.
Ces paroles sont ancrées en moi depuis ce jour, en 1999.
