Diane Tell
24. december 1959 (66 år)
Diane Tell (born 24 December 1959) is a Canadian musician who was born in Quebec City, Quebec.
Tell entered the Val d’Or conservatory at the age of six. She continued her studies at the Montréal conservatory and then at CEGEP Saint-Laurent, and she wrote her first songs at the age of twelve. As one of Québec's pioneering female singer-songwriters, she showcased her repertoire over the course of her first four albums. She won six Félix prizes before the age of 25: breakout artist, best artist, best album, best song and, twice, songwriter of the year. Several of her songs have become SOCAN Classics and Si j’étais un homme was inducted in the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2017. She earned a MIDEM Award for her album Chimères and a Victoire Award for her album Faire à nouveau connaissance.
In 1990, she was chosen by Plamondon, Berger and Savary to play a leading role in the musical La légende de Jimmy. Following that, she played the lead and composed the score for another musical, Marilyn Montreuil, written and stage-directed by Jérôme Savary and the Théâtre National du Chaillot, in Paris. Over 300 performances of both shows were presented in France and Europe. Over the past 25 years, Tell has toured relentlessly, written, composed and recorded in Canada, France, the U.K. and Switzerland. In 2019, she produced her 15th studio album of original material in Montréal. As an independent artist, she owns the phonographic rights of her entire catalogue, manages her own publishing company, and produces and finances her albums herself. Also a photographer, she directs the majority of her music videos.
In May 2018, Tell was elected to SOCAN's (The Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada) Board of Directors for a 3-year mandate. She was re-elected in 2021 to a second mandate.
On 15 July 2022 in Paris, Madame Rima Abdul Malak, French Minister of Culture, awarded Tell, as part of the Spring 2022 class, the rank of Chevalier de l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres, one of the main distinctions of the four ministerial orders of the French Republic.
In 2024, Tell was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
