As a child Sylvain had lessons on the piano, and by his teenage years already wrote his own music, sang, played guitar and bass in local bands with friends and family. In order to improve his musical knowledge and become a professional musician he decided to study jazz music in College. He then became very busy, playing in tons of musical projects and never got his music degree.

On his way, he had collaborated with such famous musicians as Paul Brochu (Jazz fusion Band Uzeb's Drummer, Michel Cusson (world renown composer and guitarist), Michel Donato (Quebec Double Bass Legend) Paul Wertico (Pat Metheny Groups ex-drummer) and Emmanuelle Caplette, world renown female drummer. Sylvain also produced 6 jazz albums under his own name as a pianist and composer and played and acted as musical director and music composer for many pop singers and multimedia shows all around the world.

Sylvain received many important Performing Arts Awards from the local and national musical industry. 3 times personality of the year of his hometown's Chamber of Commerce, he also received the first "Prix de la créativité artistique" delivered by Drummondville's cultural commitee. Sylvain also received an very important award from Quebec Arts and Letters Council: Le prix HOMMAGE (a career award) given to one Quebec Center area artist each year. Sylvain also received the "Arts de la scène" award from Culture Centre du Québec 2 times and received many grants from Quebec Arts & Letters Council. BLISS Living for Rock Music, waited too long to be release but actually takes the most important place in Sylvain's career. His sensitivity and creativity brings him always further, in roads where nobody went before. As an artist who worth discovering, Sylvain Marcotte allows you not only to love his music, but also to live it.
