In 2014, Geneviève Toupin released an album under the alter-ego Willows. Her delicate blend of folk, acoustic instruments and vocal harmonies will have seen her perform over a hundred shows and win Best Western Canadian Album at the Gala Trille Or, as well as GAMIQ nominations for Best Folk Album (Willows/Willows), Best Folk EP (The Hills/Willows) and Canadian Folk Music Awards as Songwriter of the Year.
A seasoned musician and singer, she has appeared on stage as a founding member of the electro-pop group CHANCES, as a musician/vocalist in the show Danse Lhasa Danse, and as a backing vocalist in Jorane's show Hemenetset.
Willows creates authentic work in both French and English. In 2021, she released The Hills, an EP of indie-folk songs produced by Joseph Marchand (Pierre Lapointe, Safia Nolin).
Willows presents her new album Maison vent, released in March 2023 and nominated for Aboriginal Songwriter of the Year at the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Awards. This collection of personal songs is first and foremost about women: the women in her life, both those who came before her and her personal experience as a woman and Métis from the Red River, of Franco-Manitoban origin and now a resident of Montreal.
