Régine Alexandra Chassagne (French pronunciation: [ʁeˈʒin ʃaˈsaːɲ]; born 18 August 1977)[1] is a Canadian multi-instrumentalist musician and singer, and a founding member of the band Arcade Fire. She is married to co-founder Win Butler.

Life and career

Régine Chassagne was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and grew up in St-Lambert, a suburb south of Montreal.[2][3] Her parents, who were of Haitian origin, emigrated from Haiti during the dictatorship of François Duvalier, which is alluded to in the Arcade Fire song "Haiti", in which she sings, Mes cousins jamais nés hantent les nuits de Duvalier ("My unborn cousins haunt Duvalier's nights").[4] The line is in reference to the relatives who were killed during the Jérémie Vespers massacre.

Chassagne attended Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf before earning a B.A. in communication studies at Concordia University in 1998,[5] and went on to study jazz voice briefly at McGill University.[6] She was singing jazz at an art opening at Concordia in 2000 when Win Butler met her and persuaded her to join his band. They married in 2003 and had their first child, a son, on 21 April 2013.[7]

Chassagne has also been involved with a medieval [clarification needed] band called Les Jongleurs de la Mandragore,[8] and with Jimmy Rouleau a member of the jazz duo, Azúcar.[9] She also wrote the music for the two-minute David Uloth sketch "The Shine",[10] and contributed to the UNICEF benefit project as part of the North American Hallowe'en Prevention Initiative, performing the song "Do They Know It's Hallowe'en?" along with Win Butler.

She plays many instruments on stage, including accordion, drums, xylophone, hurdy-gurdy, keyboards and organ. In Arcade Fire, Chassagne performs lead vocals on some songs, including "Haiti", "In the Backseat", "Empty Room", and "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)".

On April 21, 2013 Chassagne gave birth to the couple's first child, a son.[11]

In March 2015, Chassagne, along with husband and Arcade Fire band mate Win Butler, attended the launch of music streaming service Tidal, and revealed themselves, along with other notable artists, as shareholders in the company.[12]
