Annie Poulain is a singer who works her magic through the media of jazz and the French language. To this mix, she brings her own special alto voice, a voice which lends its own distinctive sound to her recordings. Annie has a special reverence for the music and poetry of her native tongue and takes great pleasure in crafting the lyrics and arrangements of her pieces with the sonority of the French language.

Originally formed in the fall of 2008, Atomic 5 had already toured across Quebec and Ontario, opened for internationally acclaimed Cuban pianist Omar Sosa, and played an exciting performance at the 30th annual Montreal International Jazz Festival for an audience of over 4,000 people.
