The musical drummer

About Me

I was born in the Saguenay region in Quebec Canada and began my professional career in the late 1980’s after completing studies at the Conservatoire de Musique de Québec , Cegep St-Laurent and University of Montreal. Over the last 20 years, I have performed and recorded with the elite of the local and international jazz and pop scene with such artists as: Carol Welsman, Robert Charlebois, Michel Cusson, Fraser Hollins, Alain Caron, Jean St-Jacques, François D’Amours , Philippe Noireaut, Daniel Lessard, Joshua Lebofsky, Jeff Johnston, Frédéric Alarie, Pierre Côté, Lorraine Desmarais, Jean-Pierre Ferland, Bet.E and Stef , Petula Clark, Joe Bocan, Marie-Denise Pelletier and many more. In addition, I appeared on more than 300 television variety shows and specials in various musical formats and taught drums at the Cegep of Drummondville, I am currently teaching drums at the Cegep Marie-Victorin in Montreal. Composition is a part of my musical activities with the release in 2000 of my first CD “Airborn”. My second cd with my Vue d'Ensemble group featuring new compositions of my own was release in October 2008. Now a quartet, Vue d'Ensemble released in march 2012 his latest: “Everyday Learning” available everywhere on the web. I play exclusively Yamaha drums, Luka's snare drums ( the best wooden snare drums in the world!!), Zildjian cymbals and Evans drum heads. My other passions are wine, food, golf and aviation.
