Béatrice Mireille Martin (born September 22, 1989 in Montreal , Québec ), better known under the stage name Cœur de Pirate , in German pirate heart , is a Canadian singer-songwriter and pianist .

Career

Béatrice Martin began to learn to play the piano at the age of three. She attended a conservatory for five years and graduated in arts, literature and communication. From 2007 she was briefly a keyboardist and female voice member of the band Bonjour Brumaire . After she had posted some of her own titles on MySpace in 2008 and had received a great response, she decided to embark on a solo career.

Although she had only given very few concerts, she had become so well known through her MySpace page that her debut album was released in autumn 2008. It immediately entered the Canadian album charts and was nominated for best French-language album at the Juno Awards . The following year, Cœur de Pirate was also released in French-speaking Europe and placed in the top 10 albums in France. In the US, her debut reached sixth place on the world albums chart.

Béatrice Martin tried her hand at first with English lyrics, but sang only French on her first two albums.

The soundtrack for the fifth season of the Canadian television series Trauma , which was also released as an album by Martin, contains English-language texts throughout, as it is cover songs by English-speaking musicians. Roses contains texts in both French and English.

She only plays the piano at her concerts, but she has mastered other instruments, such as the guitar.

Personal life

In July 2009 it was announced that Martin was a nude model for the alt porn website GodsGirls under the name Bea . Around 800 nude pictures were seen on the website over many months. GodsGirls removed the images at the request of her record company when she signed her contract, but the images keep popping up on a few blogs and forums over the years. Martin always admitted she took these pictures but didn't want to talk about them until July 2009.

On February 29, 2012, Martin announced on Twitter and Facebook that she was expecting a girl with her fiancé, Alex Peyrat, a tattoo artist. Martin and Peyrat were later married on July 26th and their daughter Romy was born on September 4th.

In a guest article in VICE in response to the gunfire at Pulse, a gay club in Orlando, Martin came out as queer on June 16, 2016 . The next day she announced that she was getting a divorce from her husband. At the time, she was best known for starring with Laura Jane Grace, the singer on Against Me! to be in a relationship even though they have since broken up.
