This time, the FEQ invites the singer-songwriter to open for Imagine Dragons on Friday. I didn’t expect to come back so soon, he said, visibly happy.
It was in the midst of a pandemic that the Ottawa native artist composed Runaway to Mars, the song that would launch his career. It is also thanks to his participation in the Summer Festival in 2022 that the song went viral.
We edited some moments at the Festival and put the song in the background. TikTok did the rest of the work.

Success on TiKTok
TikTok had a huge impact on Talk’s career. It definitely changed my life, he concedes.
I’ll be honest, there’s a lot of pressure that comes with TikTok. It’s part of an artist’s job now. You have to be a content creator, a social media specialist, which adds to the work. I think many find it difficult. I know that I find it difficult at times. But it was beneficial in my case. I’m very grateful.
For his second passage, he will be happy again by interpreting the ziguezon, a song that recalls his Quebec roots and marked his childhood. I love it!

Saved by Coldplay
Born Nicholas Durocher, Talk has an unconditional love for Chris Martin and Coldplay.
They literally saved my life and gave it meaning. Their music touches me, but above all, what I love most about Chris Martin is his message. It’s inclusive and full of love, and I take that with me. My name Talk comes from the Coldplay song. [Le nom]it is to take a part of them with me.
With his huge overalls, colored hair and make-up, Talk is a deliberately larger-than-life character.
Talk is an extension of who I am. It’s theatrical. I try to be what I always wanted to be, that is to say visible, exuberant and full of love.
