MONTREAL - Charlotte Cardin doesn’t need to explain why she’s beaming as she sits down at the piano in her Montreal studio ahead of the Juno Awards. 1 on the Billboard Canadian album chart since Quebec’s renowned diva Céline Dion, in September 2016. “When I was three years old, I was trying to sing like Céline Dion, to mimic her,” the 27-year-old says. It was followed a year later by another four-track EP “Main Girl” infused with pop and jazz influences, before a stretch of relative silence. Unlike her first two EPs, which she wrote alone, Cardin co-wrote “Phoenix” with Jason Brando, her producer, manager and owner of her record label, Cult Nation.
