Audiogram is an independent record label founded in Quebec in 1984.[1] The label represents performers who have contributed to and have marked Quebec's cultural scene. In the 1990s, Audiogram became home to many of the top local French artists and in 1993 expanded into the English-speaking Canadian market with Montreal rock group Gogh Van Go.[2] By 1997, Audiogram had a full slate of multicultural and multilingual releases.[3] On 10 February 2021, Audiogram was acquired by conglomerate Quebecor, along with music publishing division Éditorial Avenue.[1]
