Debbie Lynch-White’s passion for music is no secret.
The actress – who is part of the cast of The Fault season 3 – even goes so far as to interpret her favorite songs on social media.
And this close relationship with music was evident very early in his life.
How do you choose the songs to cover on social media?
It really is a crush! Songs that I like to hear or that I like to sing. If I like the text. Or the melody. I’m really a girl who goes to heart in many things in life. Also for music.
Is there a song that you put more effort into learning?
Yes still! There were many. I strummed “Smile” by Nat King Cole. I can’t say I’ve really mastered it yet. Or “You’ve Got A Friend” by Carole King, I found it a bit “harder”. But I’m not a pianist either. I’m just trying to accompany myself a little.
Also, you’ve already done a show, Once upon a time, with songs written by women. Will you do this exercise again?
It’s really funny because a few days ago I was dating the musical director of this show. Just to “chill” at home. Then I had the nostalgia of doing music shows. We talked about it. I don’t know what it’s going to be like, but I’ll admit that it tickles me to do something along these lines again, but I don’t know what yet.
At what age did you start singing and playing an instrument?
Very young. My father played the guitar, then we sang at home in the living room in the evenings. All sorts: from Pink Floyd to “The Lion King” to Tracy Chapman, Alanis Morissette, Richard Séguin. My musical culture and love of music really stems from that childhood with my father. I was so excited to sing with him.
You’re a very busy actress, but have you ever thought of dedicating yourself to music for a while?
I’ve always said I’m an actress who sings. In the sense that I will always be an actress first. This is me. But I admit that these days I think I might spend a little more time on something musical. But that will be in the next few years. It’s not a short-term project.
What band or album reminds you of your high school?
My second, it’s certain it’s Alanis Morissette, “Jagged Little Pill.” It came out when I was in sixth grade and it stuck with me to the end. pink too. The Spice Girls, the Backstreet Boys. I belong to the 90’s generation, Nickelback! I really had a big Nickelback trip in high school. Ariane Moffatt, it was a little later, for example. She had released her first album, I was at the beginning of my Cégep.
An album to listen to without Tone Skipper?
My friend Elliot Maginot’s album, Easy Morning. It’s too good! And “Feels Like Home” by Norah Jones, I’ve listened to it cover to cover a lot of times.
The artist you loved the longest and still enjoy today?
Alanis Morissette. I saw her on a show this summer when she came to Montreal. My God! I cried so much! I was in all my states. I felt like Debbie when I was 12. I saw her at a show when I was 12 with my father. Alanis Morissette forever it will be my girl!
Your favorite movie soundtrack?
I’ve been listening to the Forrest Gump soundtrack a lot. Then I also like the soundtrack of the film “Across The Universe”. I think they still “tweaked” the Beatles tunes pretty well.
Aside from La Bolduc, your favorite biopic about the life of a singer?
I’ve seen so many! What is certain is that Marion Cotillard’s performance in “La vie en rose” was exceptional.
The best concert(s) you’ve seen?
I freaked out on Charlotte Day Wilson’s show recently. Really, on the show she is amazing! Very basic but I really liked it. Then I would say P!nk in terms of the biggest show. She put on a great show at the Bell Centre. And Adele too, it was really nice moments.
Your youngest musical crush?
I discovered a girl named Ogi. Especially the song “Envy”. It’s been on a loop for me for days. Otherwise, the Boulay Sisters’ last album really tripped me up. It’s really good!
Your favorite Christmas album or song?
I really like Ella Fitzgerald’s Christmas album. It’s a staple that I hear really often. Then also the Christmas carols by Ginette Reno. She’s not flat, Ginette! (laughs)
