Jonah Richard Guimond (born November 8, 1995), known professionally as P'tit Belliveau, is a French-Canadian and Acadian folk and country musician from Clare, Nova Scotia[1] He is most noted for his 2020 album Greatest Hits Vol. 1, which was longlisted for the 2020 Polaris Music Prize.[2]

Guimond began making electronic music as a teenager, with his music evolving toward country after he was given a banjo by his grandfather.[1] Although now more based in bluegrass, his style still incorporates some synthesizers and drum machines.[1]

With his band Les Grosses Coques, he was a finalist in the 2019 edition of the Francouvertes.[3] Greatest Hits Vol. 1, his debut album, was released in March 2020.[4]
