At the age of 18, he learned and mastered piano very fast, thanks to the support of St. Croix College’s principal, Dr Jean-Marc Crête. It is at the end of his program in 1988, by playing the piano, that he won first place at the college’s national performance. In 1990, he was admitted in the piano music program at University of Montreal.
