| About DJ FYB | I was born in Montreal on October 19, 1973. I grew up in a very modest family, and did not have access to everything I wanted, but we were lucky enough to have a piano at home, which gave me the opportunity to develop my musical abilities. I became enthusiastic about music very early on, and wrote my first composition at the age of ten. I was attracted to many styles of music : contemporary (80's) as well as classical and post-classical styles. On top of experimenting with the piano at home, I learned to play the guitar in high school, which is where I had my very first experiences performing in public. I was also a student radio host, which helped me acquire basic studio techniques and was a great way to become comfortable interacting with an audience. These experiences gave me valuable knowledge and skills, but it was percussions that really turned me on. It wasn’t until my early twenties that I started playing drums. Banging on my bongo until late at night, to the great dismay of my neighbours, became an outlet for my creativity. I started performing in private parties with friends, and friends of friends, but my work remained amateur until 2007. In the spring of that year, I decided to build my own studio, which rapidly enabled me to create new songs based on many years of experimentation. Month after month, I updated my studio with new tools that have allowed to push my limits. This is where I am today. If you wish to use any of my pieces, please feel free to ask me by email at: info@djfyb.net. Please specify which one(s) you wish to use. Ditto if you wish to hire me for a project or event. If you have special requests, such as song(s) for games or movies, don’t hesitate to send me an email. |
