Bio
Jacques has been singing and playing guitar since the age of nine. With
an insatiable desire for creativity and expression he has been writing constantly
ever since.
Jacques recently submitted one of his original songs entitled “Anyway” to
Hit Song Science, and received a score of 7.16 out of 10. Anything above 6.75
shows clear potential to become a hit single. “Anyway” was just recorded and
released by ECMA nominee Samantha Robichaud, on her 5th album entitled
“A New Stage”
Jacques been actively working on his upcoming debut album entitled
“These Hands”, which is due out in Fall 2008. Following in the footsteps of some
of his favourite influences, every facet of the album was controlled and mainly
performed, by him. This allowed him the complete freedom of expression that
many artists don’t get the opportunity to experience.
