I am and have always been passionate about sound... Be it music or simply the sound of bacon sizzling on the frying pan to mimic the sound of rain. I have always had a drive within me to create beautiful melodic chord progressions or simply recording my footsteps.
I was born and raised in Canada, Quebec Montreal to be precise. I speak & write in English & French fluently. I like taking long walks on the beach... Just kidding!
I started creating music when I was 12 years old. Never knew what I was doing but never gave up. I was getting used to the software while years passed by. Keyboard shortcuts where being implemented in my brain. I knew how to get what I needed in a split second. But I knew there was more to this than what I knew.
After a while of messing around with different techniques, I decided to pursue my dream in audio and applied to Musitechnic (A school designed and specialized in Audio Engineering). I was a kid in a candy store the day I went for a tour. I was convinced that there's no stopping me in grabbing the opportunity of a lifetime.
And now I'm here, ready to take on the world!
