Born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario, Laurent started playing music at age nine and subsequently began performing and recording with his first band by the age of twelve. The Spark was the name of said band, and it included his current studio drummer and all-around music partner, Jamie Kronick. Three albums and a multitude of local and out-of-town shows later, Laurent decided to make the move to Montreal at the age of 17 to pursue music as a solo artist.

In early 2007 began the writing and recording of Laurent’s very first solo full-length album. Entitled “What We Talk About”, the album is being produced by Dean Watson at the Gallery Studios in Ottawa and features Jamie Kronick on drums, Dan F-M on Bass, and Laurent on everything else. It is currently in production after a long stint of concerts, and will be ready for release by the fall of 2009.

Laurent has been performing in Montreal and its surrounding cities over the past year or so, gaining credibility and recognition from his peers and from industry professionals alike.

He performs the majority of his shows with his full backing band, at times featuring an extended strings and horns section, and he is also known to play solo acoustic shows. Laurent has shared the stage with Canada’s indie favorites Miracle Fortress and Amos the transparent. Most importantly though, every night he shares the stage with some of his greatest friends and fellow musicians…which is all that really matters in the end.
