\"\"Ben Pelchat is always doing something new.\u00a0 When he first started in music, it was not a skin-deep desire to emulate the latest or greatest craze.\u00a0 Pelchat is about the music and the pursuit of creating sound that connects on a deep and lasting level.\u00a0 I know, it sounds alien by today\u2019s standards, since that which dominates today\u2019s commercial music culture is, with every transitory ad sync, rarely a rallying call for \u2018deep\u2019 or \u2018lasting\u2019.\u00a0 And yet Pelchat the Torontonian polymath from Quebec, has, of his own volition, made the decision to move away from the safety net of Instagram crowd pleasing impermanence to make music that is actually an extension of his own personality (without the tired social media rehearsed posturing)<\/em>. \u00a0Delightfully, without fear of making his brand of pop into something\u00a0dark<\/em>. \u00a0He writes, sings, plays and arranges everything himself, engineers and produces every note and lyric of that personality.\u00a0 He does so while simultaneously writing, producing and mentoring some of Canada\u2019s most exciting home-grown talents in Toronto’s legendary studio, Kensington Sound<\/a>, where he has nurtured the careers of\u00a0Wes Mason, Jade Mya, Vaxxo, Jordan John <\/em>and many more musical shakers on the Canadian music scene.\u00a0 He is indispensable to all the singer songwriters and bands who have all grown creatively under his tutelage, encouragement and guidance, and he has been the secret weapon in the musical arsenal of countless albums, including my own.<\/h3>\n
