St. Clair was born in Montreal. In 1981, she was chosen by renowned Quebec lyricist Luc Plamondon to play the role of Crystal in the rock-opera Starmania.[1][2] The following year, she recorded a duet with French singer Gilbert Bécaud called "L'amour est mort".[1]

Her debut solo album in 1983, Coeur Ordinateur, would feature songs written by Plamondon.
