My Life

Biography

Growing up singing along to my favorite Disney princesses, I always wanted to tell stories through my work. This passion followed me during all my classical piano studies and is even more crucial now that I create audio environments.

 

During my bachelor's degree and my specialized graduate diploma in music composition for film and video games at the University of Sherbrooke, Canada, I worked with extraordinary people who improved my knowledge and experience as a composer. Therefore, I had the opportunity to participate in diverse projects, such as an original soundtrack for a full-length film, multiple video game projects, two student short films, and the recording of one of my video game music by a live orchestra. Among these collaborations are Robert Marcel Lepage, Benoît Groulx, Maxime Goulet, and the Sherbrooke Symphony Orchestra.

​

My undergraduate piano studies with Suzanne Goyette at the Conservatoire de musique de Montreal allowed me to play in small and big ensembles, accompany singers, and even sing in a choir for multiple years. That explains why I love orchestral and vocal music but, most of all, collaborating with people.

​

Through my years of composition studies, I discovered a new passion while working on multiple video game projects: sound design. Armed with my Zoom H4n Pro Audio Recorder, I started recording all kinds of sounds, ranging from footsteps to my dog barking to even the flushing sound of a toilet. It amazed me how I could record a simple sound and transform it into something completely different in my DAW. The possibilities are endless, and that's what I love the most about it. Though most of my sound design and sound implementation abilities are self-taught, I owe a lot to my university teachers Thierry Gauthier and Maxime Goulet for helping me better my craft and become more efficient in my workflow.

​

Taking people on a journey with my music and sounds is the best part of what I do. It fills my life with joy, and I couldn't be an audio artist without it.
