Here now, are some biographical notes about Me, Myself and I:
Singer-songwriter; score composer; arranger; producer and instrumentalist (guitars, bass, keys, percussion & vocals).
Montreal-based musician LG Breton has continuously been creating and performing music in countless situations.
In recent years, he has scored three contemporary ballets ("Les 10 Commandements", 1998; "Epitaphe", 1999 and "À Tire d'Ailes", 2002). LG also composed, produced and performed the soundtrack to Montreal's "Festival Sensation Mode & Design" special event (fashion, dance & urban music styles) in 2003. He also co-composed, arranged and conducted a rock opera celebrating the 300th anniversary of the city of Rimouski, Canada ("Opera roc & fleuve", 1996) all this while, to this day, remaining constantly active as a studio musician on various other projects (see selected discography, below).
But LG also deeply enjoys performing before an audience and, therefore, keeps on playing live as often as possible (more than 2000 shows and performances so far!). He's already toured Quebec many times over, Ontario, New Brunswick, California, Morocco and over 20 European countries, leading - or as part of - acts/bands of all styles (Pop, Rock, R&B, World, Swing) or within multidisciplinary international shows such as "C.O.K.E." (2000) and "Apogée" (2002).
These days, apart from his work with several established and developing artists, LG Breton is in the process of recording his first personal album as a singer/songwriter (Swoon)! Watch for its release in the coming year... For more info, you can go to: myspace.com/realswoon
