Jean-Michel Blais is a post-classical pianist and composer living in Montreal, Canada.
Blais grew up in a rural French Catholic town in Quebec and began tinkering on his family's organ at age 9. By 11, he began writing original compositions and taking piano lessons. A natural talent, by 17 he was invited to the Trois-Rivieres Music Conservatory and began training as a classical pianist. The constraints of formal training began to wear on Blais who started to gravitate towards experimentation and improvisation. He eventually left the school and put aside his musical path.
In his mid-20s, Blais traveled to Europe and Latin America, studied special education, liberal arts and psychology, while moving to Berlin for about a year and six months in Buenos Aires, before settling in Montreal where he rediscovered his love for composing and performing, which caught the ear of Toronto-based indie label Arts & Crafts.
Blais’ debut album, Il, was written and recorded in his apartment ov
