Concerts for a Cause presents ALESKI CAMPAGNE

Aleksi Campagne offers a contemporary, indie-folk take on the time-honoured fiddle-singing tradition. Born and raised in Montreal, Aleksi’s music blends folk songwriting with an edgy, multi-layered sound resulting from his unique combination of voice, violin and looping-effect pedals.

In 2024 Campagne was named Canada's New Discovery of the Year. That same year Aleksi launched his debut album to critical acclaim, and was awarded the Canadian Folk Music Award for francophone artist of the year. This album is completely bilingual and features 10 songs in French and the same 10 songs in English. .Thematically, Aleksi's debut album is about all the firsts of growing up–from first loves to first moves, the first steps of your career and even first breakups.  His performances are usually bilingual as well, depending on the audience.  

Aleksi’s has enjoyed several other accomplishments as well.  He was selected as a Mariposa Folk Festival Emerging Artist. His single Another Day was a Top Single of 2022. In March, he was one of the Top 5 Favourite acts at the Folk Alliance International Conference. In May, his single Won’t be Scared was selected as the only Canadian finalist in the Kerrville Folk Festival.

.Aleksi Campagne is uniquely qualified to offer a contemporary, indie-folk take on the time-honoured fiddle-singing tradition. At five years old, he began performing alongside his mother, Canadian folk icon, Connie Kaldor. At 19, Aleksi moved to Paris to study under jazz violin legend Didier Lockwood. At 21, Aleksi became the only student to have ever been accepted into the classical violin, the jazz violin and the jazz voice performance programs at McGill University.
