Do you play live?
I have'nt played much in public for 3 or 4 months now, it is very difficult in Montreal even in the Province to perform since the governement passed some laws that did very bad to business in Bars where we used to play,
So, I'll tell you, I play sometimes in Restaurants, you know dinner and dance…
Cover songs, to survive..I work alone with a computer.
What I like is work in my studio….

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
For the best.
Pour le meilleur

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
NO
Band History:
From the age of Fifteen, I've learn the guitar (Electric) with a friend,I remember practicing Chet Atkins, The Ventures, That was in the early '60.
I have my home Studio, so it is very easy to work on my compos, night or day, I put my headphones, plug my guitar into my Pod Line6,
Start the beat that I have in mind, After, play some bass on the Keyboard, then back to the drum… Back to the Guitar….and the Sing.
The most difficult for me is the lyrics, I am French speaking, a little English..
The Blues and Rock sounds better in English, so I work hard to compose in English..

Your influences?
My first influence came from Elvis Presley, after that came The Beatles, that is when I really went full time in Music, She loves you Yea Yea Yea…
The Jimi Hendrix, It was very difficult for us (the Band then) to play Hendrix, He was so hot on the guitar, very much in advance for it's time,plus the people where we play would'nt appreciate much this kind of music, it was very underground, ' psychedelick'.
And my first band, we played very commercial music for marriage,ect…

Anything else...?
How long does it take you to create a song? - e.g. writing an recording?
That depens, sometimes when I got the idea very clear in my mind, 2 days, everythning in done.
Sometimes, can take days, I leave it there, I come back…work a bit on it..ect..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
07. Are you also working together with other musicians as guest players or in collaboration?
I usualy work alone, to compose. I like it better that way.
But after the basic work is done on my compos, in a near futur,
I will have a old friend of mine that lives in Quebec City,
He will record some drums tracks on my compos.
(Can't wait to hear the result of that…)
And we have another project for a Duo and produce another album…
