Musician at heart
Marimuz is originally from Granby, Estrie (Quebec). Music has inhabited him from an early age. At nine years old, the piano is already his instrument and the fourth art, his future. So she naturally entered the Vincent d'Indy School of Music in Montreal. She then completed her training at the University of Sherbrooke (general music and classical interpretation).
Musical Influences
Marimuz is a musician at heart and her musical spectrum is broad. Surprisingly, for a classical pianist, she has listened to many styles of music. From psychedelic to progressive rock, to metal, to alternative rock, to reggae, to folk, to electro-house, to techno, to finally evolve with sophistication toward pure instrumental music.
“I never closed myself off to musical diversity. I have a classical training but I also explored many musical genres. What I love best is to play the music of Bach, Chopin, Beethoven and many more… The most important thing for me is the melody!”
