Paul Grenier is a Montreal based solo recording artist and songwriter. With roots that go back deep into the New Wave synth pop style of the 80's, you can clearly hear the echos of that era in each of his songs. Today, his style can be best described as Adult Alternative. He has also had TV placements and is in the eternal endeavor of making music a career that actually pays.Band/artist history
I started writing and experimenting with synths in 1983, which was when my father bought me my first keyboard. Roland JX3P. It was awesome. Then had a Boss Drum Machine and a 4 track cassette recorder. Taped a Radio Shack microphone to a home made mic stand, and went bananas.
I took piano lessons for 2 weeks and gave up. I decided I wanted to write my own music, so taught myself how to write, how to perform, to engineer and to produce
Today, I have the luxury of a substantial private home studio with a lot of great gear and the means to transform my thoughts into music with a lot more clarity and beauty than before.
I've had some TV placements and have also freelanced on a few animation projects doing the entire sound design, FX and voices as well as music.Have you performed in front of an audience?No live performances yet, but I'm going to put a band together and see where it leads
