Bolduc was recommended by folk singer Ovila Légaré to musical producer Roméo Beaudry of the Compo Company. Beaudry signed musicians for French language recordings on the Starr Records label. Beaudry signed her to a recording contract to make four 78 rpm records, paying her $25 per side. She made her first recording in April 1929, the French folk song "Y'a longtemps que je couche par terre" on side A, and an instrumental reel on side B. The record was a commercial flop. Her next two recordings also had meagre sales.
