Anik Jean (born April 11, 1977) is a Canadian pop and rock singer, actress, director, and screenwriter. She is most noted for her 2005 album Le Trashy Saloon, which was a shortlisted Juno Award finalist for Francophone Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2006. From a young age, Anik Jean has been drawn to performing. Attending a David Bowie concert with her mother when she was 11 years old, Anik decided she wanted to be a singer-songwriter. She learned how to play guitar and piano and embarked on a trip that would take her from her native Gaspésie to Los Angeles before eventually returning to Montreal. In the spring of 2005, her first single, "Je suis partie", topped the Top 5 on the radio charts in Quebec, which laid the groundwork for the release of her debut album Le Trashy Saloon in August of that same year. The song was written by Anik's mentor, Quebec rock legend, Jean Leloup, who also co-produced the album with David Strutton. Anik cowrote the follow-up single, "Junkie de toi", with Jean Leloup, and rose ever higher than before on the top 40 charts. She opened for The Rolling Stones at their concert in Montreal in January 2006. For her second album in 2008, Anik worked with Mark Plati, the producer for David Bowie, Alain Bashung, Louise Attaque and Les Rita Mitsouko.
