Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on September 02, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Fred St-Gelais! From rocking out with Hépatite B to composing unforgettable tunes for Degrassi: The Next Generation and Instant Star—your musical journey has been nothing short of legendary. Who knew Canadian Idol would be even cooler thanks to your catchy melodies?

And let's not forget the magic you created alongside Marie-Mai on Dangereuse Attraction; Felix Awards don't lie—you've got talent in spades! Here's hoping this year brings more chart-topping hits, fewer broken guitar strings, and endless inspiration.

Keep making Canada proud (and humming along). Cheers to another fantastic spin around life's turntable—rock on forever, Fred!
