That is to leave his mentor Jean-Marc Audet and start his own recording studio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Studio Fontaine<\/strong> is born and settles right away at 1110 Bleury Street 4<sup>th <\/sup>Floor, downtown Montreal. This was possible with the help of good friends and financial backers like: Jacques Proulx (1935-2013) famous morning man at \u201cCKAC\u201d radio and prestigious French news anchor Jean-Paul Nolet (1924-2000).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Studio Fontaine<\/strong> begins operating in late 1973 and from the start enjoys great success. Mr. Fontaine had cultivated great relationship with all the elite talent of that era during his years at <strong>Studio Marko<\/strong> and those artists followed him to Studio Fontaine. People like comedian Roland Chenail (1921-2010), comedian Ren\u00e9 Caron (1925-2016) and George Morris (1942-2021) of Listen Audio, just to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>In its heyday in the late 70\u2019s early 80\u2019s, <strong>Studio Fontaine<\/strong> is already one of the top recording studios in Montreal, specializing in audio recordings for radio and TV commercials and audio-visual super productions for clients like Avon, Air Canada, Kraft Foods, John Deere, Salomon, Canadian Tire, Pharmaprix, Northern Telecom and many more. It also services all these clients with massive dubbing operations and shipping to all the radio stations across Quebec.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, all the top ad agencies in Quebec made sure that their biggest accounts were served at <strong>Studio Fontaine<\/strong>. Like Group Marketel, BCP, McKim, Young &amp; Rubican, Vickers &amp; Benson, Ogilvy, Multiscope and many more.<\/p>\n<p>In the early 80\u2019s, <strong>Studio Fontaine<\/strong> was ready for an expansion and construction began on a bigger studio. The same room as <strong>Studio La Majeure<\/strong> today \u201cStudio B\u201d that is. The \u201cnew\u201d <strong>Studio Fontaine<\/strong> continued to operate with great success and Michel\u2019s son Luc Fontaine joined the team in 1981 and soon after founded his own studio with three friends. <strong>Studio La Majeure<\/strong> was born and co-existed with <strong>Studio Fontaine<\/strong> until Mr. Fontaine unexpected death in 1987 from skin cancer. Luc and his partner Sylvain Lefevre finally absorb <strong>Studio Fontaine<\/strong> in 1987 and <strong>Studio La Majeure<\/strong> officially took over the entire 4<sup>th<\/sup> floor, building new studios and developing its own reputation and brand.
