Bouvier founded his own punk rock outfit Reset in his early teens with his best friend Chuck Comeau.

The pair joined forces to form rock group Simple Plan with old school friends Jeff Stinco, Sébastien Lefebvre and David Desrosiers. In 2002 the band dropped their pure pop punk debut album No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls, featuring singles ‘I’d do Anything’, ‘I’m Just a Kid’, ‘Perfect and ‘Addicted’. The band went on to play on the Vans Warped Tour as headliners in 2003 and opened for the likes of Green Day and Avril Lavigne.
Away from his success as the lead singer of Simple Plan, Bouvier joined forces with Chuck Comeau and Patrick Langlois as a partner of the clothing brand Role Model.
