Julie Masse (born June 3, 1970) is a Canadian pop singer.
Masse was born in Greenfield Park, Quebec. She released her self-titled debut album in 1990, a French language album that made her a star in Quebec and France, with the singles "C'est Zéro", "Billy", "Sans t'oublier" and "Prends bien garde". Her second album, À Contre Jour, followed in 1992.
In 1993, she won the Juno Award for Best New Female Artist. She married cinematographer Sylvain Brault the same year.[1] In 1994, she released her debut English language album, Circle of One,[2] on which she collaborated with Corey Hart (known for his early-1980s pop hits, such as "Sunglasses at Night"). Her relationship with Hart soon became romantic as well, and she divorced Brault in 1995.
She released a hits collection, Compilation, in 1996. She has not released another album since then, but has been a vocalist on Hart's albums[3] and concert tours.
Hart and Masse married in 2000, and have four children together: daughters India, Dante and River, and son Rain. They now reside in The Bahamas.[4]
