Diane Juster
Canadian singer-songwriter and composer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diane Juster, née Rivet (born March 15, 1946) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and composer from Montreal, Quebec.[1] Although she had some success as a performer in her own right, she has been most prominent as a songwriter for other artists, including Julie Arel, Ginette Reno, Robert Charlebois, Johanne Blouin and Céline Dion.[2]
After studying piano at the Université de Montréal, she began writing songs in 1971.[2] After Arel recorded several of her songs, Juster began performing as an artist herself, and represented Canada at the Festival international de la chanson française in 1975.[2] Although she released a number of albums and popular singles as a performer, however, she found that she was more passionate about writing for other artists than she was about performing, and concentrated principally on songwriting after the 1970s.[1] Her song "Je ne suis qu'une chanson", written for Reno, won the Félix Award for Song of the Year in 1980.[2] She also composed music for films, including Chocolate Eclair (Éclair au chocolat) and The Morning Man (Un matin, une vie).[2]
She was named a Member of the Order of Canada in 2016,[3] and in 2023 she was named a Knight of the National Order of Quebec.[4] In 2024 she was named as a recipient of the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards.[5]
