About Me

I live up here in Northern Quebec .I'm a teacher and a local performer.Nothing fancy but that's it.Got my first kicks on rock'n'roll when I was 3 years old. I remember listening to those 8 tracks feeling so bloody good ! That was it,I knew I wanted to do that.So after 5 years of nagging my parents,they figured I was probably serious about it so they got me my first guitar when I was 8.From then on I started doing local gigs and giving guitar lessons when I was old enough or at least close enough.Just kept on doing it.

I never really had in mind being in a big traveling band.I was pretty happy just getting things done in my routine.That's the kind of guy I am.No pressure...maybe not enough but so be it...he he.

It's funny how you wake up one morning and realize that years have gone by.So when that day came,I thought it would be a good idea to share some stuff I made before this journey comes to an end.So what better way to share my music than the internet.

I guess that in a way,this is also some sort of opportunity for me to thank all the people I've listened to in my life for making this strange trip an even better thing to live thanks to there art.So you can imagine I got a lot of work ahead of me.

I should have my home recorded CD ready in a short time.Hope some of you will give it a play.I'll keep you posted when it's done...

In the meantime,here's a sample of a temporary version of one tune ... (shouldn't do this but I gotta put something on here ...)

Thanks for droping in !

Influences:

My first influences when I was a kid were The Beatles,Deep Purple,The Doobie Brothers,Alice Cooper,Nazareth,Johnny Winter,Bob Seger,Eric Clapton,Pink Floyd and many others.

When I got to be a tennager,I was into Iron Maiden,Scorpion,Ozzy,Metallica,Whitesnake,Brian Adams and all those great 80's bands.

Later on I started listening to guys like Stanley Clarke,Scott Henderson,Dave Grusin,John Scofield,Tony Rice,Mike Stern and a truck load more.

I love what's going on today with Dave Matthews,Dream Theater,Disturbed,Avril Lavigne,Jonas,Celine Dion and the rest of the music culture.

In a lifetime,we come across great musicians and great song writers so it would be too long to write down all the names in this quick flight.I guess that whatever touches us ends up having some sort of influence on us and it may not even be music.
