But beyond the nickname, Alain is an influential manager and talent agent in the Montreal community. As the founder of Divertissement Mercier, he combines pragmatism with artistic sensibility, particularly in the field of jazz. Recognized for his dedication, kindness, and commitment to culture, Alain Mercier actively contributes to the city\u2019s musical reputation. This year, he is part of the organizing team for Mois du Cr\u00e9ole, having helped bring two big names in zouk\u2014Jocelyne B\u00e9roard and Tony Chasseur\u2014who will set the Monument National on fire on October 3, 2026.
