Best known for his gold-certified solo debut album as well as his work with the French-Canadian rock band Zébulon, Marc Déry was born in Mascouche, Quebec, on November 4, 1963. After playing bass for a band named Les Colocs, he formed Zébulon with Yves Marchand, Alain Quirion, and his brother Yves Déry. The group released three albums and won "Group of the Year" at the Félix Awards in 1997. One year later, Déry launched a solo career and began working on his self-titled debut album, Marc Déry, which appeared in 1998. Featuring singles like "Le monde est rendu peace" and "La Cabane à Félix," the album went gold in Canada and earned Déry another Félix Award, this time for "Best Arranger." After releasing the solo records À l'avenir in 2002 and À la figure in 2005, Déry teamed up with his Zébulon bandmates once again for the group's comeback album, Retour sur Mars. Released in 2008, Retour sur Mars was followed by a tour throughout Quebec. Zébulon's members returned their focus to individual projects following the tour's competition, and Déry resumed his solo career with the 2011 album Numéro 4, which found the songwriter moving in a pop-oriented direction. His fifth solo effort, Atterrissage, followed in 2019.
