Biography

I was raised in a family of musicians. I’ve mostly worked behind the scenes and on the production side of the arts, and I’ve managed artists and launched events of my own. My love for the arts is inherent and further shapes my understanding of the industry, to which I am fully committed.

My interest in the betterment of the art world led me to the following questions: why is it so hard for talented people to find work, and for employers to hire the right creative mind? Such interrogations made me realize the necessity for a more open and consolidated art community.

--------

J’ai été élevé dans une famille de musiciens professionnels indépendants, ce qui m’a propulsé dans l’industrie des arts à un jeune âge. Travaillant surtout en production et derrière les coulisses, j’ai géré des artistes et lancé des événements et des festivals dont Beast, Jorane, M pour Montreal, Merlin Ettore, Dr Draw, L'Arsenal à Musique et l'événement Chantier libre::Freeland.

Les difficultés rencontrées dans le milieu des arts, dans la recherche de collaborateurs et de travail à temps plein ou à la pige, m’ont laissé perplexe tout au long de mon expérience. Le problème n’est pas un manque d’initiatives ou d’opportunités mais leur invisibilité: les personnes qui travaillent dans les arts ont besoin d’un moyen efficace de connecter. Artfox est une réponse à ce problème et vise à stimuler le réseautage professionnel dans le milieu des arts.
