Mario LeBlanc (October 18, 1977 – September 30, 2024), better known under stage name Fayo (transl. bean), was an Acadian musician born in Dieppe, New Brunswick. As many artists from southeastern New Brunswick, Fayo sang in chiac, the local French dialect mixing French words with English grammar, and vice versa. His music is a blend of folk, rock and urban poetry.
Life and career
Fayo started writing songs at the age of thirteen. He then sang for the Acadian band Réveil until 1996. In 1999, he wrote an Acadian poetry book entitled Taches de naissance (transl. Birthmarks).
Soon after, he would start his solo career. In 2000, he won the singer-songwriter of the year award at the Gala de la Chanson de Caraquet (fr) for his album La fiève des fèves (transl. Bean Fever).{{cite web |author= |date= |title=Gala de la chanson de Caraquet: Historique 2000–2009 |url=http://www.galadelachanson.ca/index2.cfm?id=18 |access-date=16 August 2010 |language=fr |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070502132732/http://www.galadelachanson.ca/index2.cfm?id=18 |archive-date=2 May 2007 |url-status=dead
In 2006, Fayo would record his second album Accent Aigu (transl. Acute Accent).
Fayo worked with Bosnian singer Lepa Brena on her 2011 album, Začarani krug. He composed the music for the song "Briši me" with Hajrudin Hari Varešanović.
Fayo died after a brief cancer in Mont-Carmel, Prince Edward Island on September 30, 2024, at the age of 46.
