Born in the Bois-Francs region (Victoriaville), Véronique was surrounded by music from an early age. At the age of three, she began learning the violin with Nicole Larivière of the Vivaldi movement. First enrolled in the music program at Sacré-Coeur elementary school, she continued her instrumental studies at Mitchell and Montcalm high schools in Sherbrooke and then at Jean-de-Brébeuf school in Quebec City. At the same time, she took private violin and piano lessons.

Desire, I Want To Turn Into You is Polachek’s first album release since her 2019 experimental pop masterpiece PANG which cemented her as a generational talent. Her profile has grown exponentially since – landing her everywhere from the direct opening spot on Dua Lipa’s 2022 North American Future Nostalgia Tour, Coachella, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury, Primavera, All Points East, Governors Ball, Pitchfork Music Festival and Outside Lands, and involved with campaigns & shows for Loewe, Dior, Eckhaus Latta and Chloé, to late night performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Late Night Show with James Corden. Standout viral tracks like “So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings,” have contributed to the album’s 175M global streams and counting and ignited a dance trend on TikTok.
