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).[2] He then goes on tour with two of his friends, Rémi Arsenault (contrabass) and Steven LeBlanc (guitar). Also in 2000, he won the Prix Éloizes (fr) as "Newcomer of the Year" (Découverte de l'Année).

In 2006, Fayo would record his second album Accent Aigu (transl. Acute Accent).

gollark: It is close enough.
gollark: Well, we could stream news direct to the street signs' spare pixels, but keanu complained.
gollark: If you didn't write one, I can just write my own inefficient priority queue thing, don't worry.
gollark: <@178948413851697152> Did you write that priority queue? I need an implementation of one for Dijkstra's Algorithm.
