She was initially known as one of the top finalists of the first season of the Quebec reality show ''Star Académie''. ==Profile/Background== Bouchard was born in Varennes, Quebec. As her father was also a musician, Marie-Mai began her interest in music in her early years when practicing piano lessons and also participated in musical theatre. Shortly, she began singing and her grandmother noticed her talent. In the following years, she would help Marie-Mai improve her singing abilities even further. At that time, her grandmother suggested to her that she audition for a new competition, ''Star Académie''. Prior to this, in 2001, she would start to perform in shows at Montreal's Théâtre Musical in the ''Passion intense'' show. She became a finalist in the 2003 edition, in which she was immediately noticed by her pop-rock style. She finished third behind Marie-Elaine Thibert, the runner-up of the competition and Wilfred Le Bouthillier, the eventual winner. After the ''Star Académie'' tour ended in 2004, she was part of the Montreal cast of Jonathan Larson's rock-opera musical ''Rent'', performed at the Olympia Theatre. In September 2011, she married her producer, Fred St-Gelais, in Hawaii. The couple were engaged since 2006.〔Harvey Claudy (4 September 2011).
