SMOG = Talented Artist

Smog?! Am I talking about this big cloud over montreal when it's really hot outside? Am I talking about this huge cloud over montreal in the morning when you can't see in front of you on the Champlain Bridge? Or is it this pollution thing that all the news keep talking about? hmm....

Actually, NONE OF THE ABOVE!

Then , What is ? Who is ? SMOG ???

I'mma tell you who this talented artist is and what he does. Trust me , keep reading, you won't regret it... There is so many things to say about him so I'll try to make it quite short.

First of all, if we think about Music. Music is his life, his passion. Main instruments?! Piano and keyboards. He also manage to use a drum at its best too. And, honestly, put any instruments in his hand He'll figure it out very quickly and will succeed.
For now let's talk about pianos. What does he play? he can play evveeerryythhinggg. Altough I find his strengths are in this blues, jazzy, hiphop tones. (Ok I'll admitt it : He honestly is very good in any style) He also says that he loves to play trip-pop. He can take something basic and make miracles with it. He can use samples or create something from scratch. Gotta admit this to; I love when he creates, what comes out of his mind is just insane. He started to play music since hmmm, since he was able to use his hands. To lead him now; Did the JazzFest in 2008 on the second biggest stage. He also did the Francofolies, Festival des mongolfieres , Soba Gala, alot of different show in different places... He says, he comes alive on stage... I believe 100% of it.

Second of all, since creating is a Strength for this man, art and drawing comes with it. He draws since he's born (ok maybe not but you get the point :) ) He can draw, create conventional things but he is amazing when it is time to create weird, unexplicable things. The way he draws, the emotions of the characters are crazy. Whether it is a simple drawing or something really spectacular you can't be careless when you are in front of one of his creations.

... I'm not done yet .. Told you there was alot to say...

Third, let's talk about laughing. Laughing, Genuine Laughs. Talk with him and this is going to happen. Amazing imitations he can do and crazy stories he can talk about. Always something to say, always something to add. Quote from one of my really good friend Kelly : He's Flying!!!
