Anne Marie Cyr (born 1963) is a French Canadian singer, TV presenter and occasional model; who was active during the early 1980s. Born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, Canada Cyr came to prominence in her late teens on Montreal cable television assisting and presenting on shows such as Musi-Video (a forerunner to Canada's MuchMusic). She fitted in her TV presenting and Pop career with studying Communications at Montreal's Concordia University.
While working at Musi-video she was asked to provide female backing vocals for the new studio Synthpop band Nudimension who were appearing on the show.
Originally selected to appear with Nudimension mainly for her good looks, it would soon become apparent to band founders Louis Rondeau and Marc Fontaine that Cyr was also a very competent, bilingual vocalist, and she was retained to work on the Band's two albums (one in French and the other in English)
She would go on to become the band's most prominent female vocalist; although she was never considered a permanent member of the band, Cyr is synonymous with Nudimension.
In early 1983 Nudimension released the francophone single "Amour Programmé" which was a synthpop duet between band founder Louis Rondeau (former drummer for the 222s) and Cyr. Released on the Saisons label principally in Quebec, it became a minor hit in the francophone regions of Canada; and by export in France and remaining North America. Cyr and Rondeau appeared together on the Canadian network TV show Lautrec '83 (presented by Donald Lautrec) to promote the single, her highest-profile TV performance. She also appeared on CFCF-TV Friday night's 'Nite Life' presented by Peter King, representing Nudimension.
