Charlotte Cardin, ‘My parents have always been very supportive though they are scientists’
Charlotte Cardin was born on November 9, 1994, in Montréal, Quebec, Canada, to her mother Sylvie Cardin and father Charles Goyer.
The singer grew up alongside her sibling, Camille, whom she sees as an idol.
While speaking to Vice magazine, Charlotte Cardin mentioned that despite her parents sharing a completely different career, they always supported her musical journey.
Her father, Charles, received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry, and her mother, Sylvie, in Epidemiology from McGill University.
Charles then served on the board of the Montréal Invivo from 2009-2013. He is also the founder of La Céleste Levure, a wine agency in Montréal, in 1993, where his wife, Sylvie, works.
In an interview, Charles says, “For my part, I encourage Charlotte to take advantage of the present moment. She can always continue her studies later. An incredible opportunity presents itself to her, so the momentum is now!”
He further adds, “Yes, studies are important. Sylvie and I both have doctorates. But at 18, Charlotte has already found what others will search for all their lives: her talent, her passion. And that’s worth all the diplomas in the world.”
Meanwhile, Charlotte’s mother, Sylvie, says, “I am proud of all the enthusiasm that Charlotte’s performances are generating at the moment. At the same time, the mom in me tries to stay rational about it all.”
“To have fun working as a singer, Charlotte must be well equipped. If she continues her studies and obtains diplomas, she will have a plan B and the pressure will automatically become less. Of course, there may be momentary stops, to fully experience an experience like The Voice. But at the same time, I want to protect her in all that, and for me, that inevitably involves studies,” she adds.
