Available to hire
I’m Éloi Desjardins, a keyboard player, musician and composer based in Montreal. I specialize in original composition, sound recording, music production, digital music, live performance, and improvisation accompaniment for theatre. My training at UQAM and Vincent-d’Indy has given me a strong foundation in both creation and performance, and I love connecting with the energy of the stage.
Beyond music, I have experience in customer service and catering, which sharpened my listening, adaptability, and teamwork. I’m passionate about musical creation and the theatre context, and I’m also excited about writing and creating online content.
