THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE MUSICIANS❗

Beyond every musician, there is much more than just chords and beats. There is an artist who, day after day, passionately dedicates himself to nourish the soul with his art, to make the hearts of the audience flutter, and to sculpt an unforgettable legacy.

Often, the world only sees the stage, the lights and the instruments that dominate the space of a concert. But inside every musician is a creator who is far more than a mere performer. He is a visionary, a warrior, a unsung hero who faces challenges and barriers with boldness and conviction.

Musician knows the meaning of sacrifice and dedication. He gives body and soul to his art, knowing that his work does not only mean a standing ovation, but the opportunity to touch the deepest emotions of his audience. Practice for endless hours, often away from home, giving up precious moments with your loved ones for the well-being of all.

But even in moments of doubt and fatigue, the musician finds strength in his music and his passion. Visualise a future filled with harmony and recognition, where your talent resonates in every corner of the world.

Although the uncertainty of the road can be overwhelming, never lose faith and continue your journey with determination and courage. A musician’s life goes beyond a profession; it is a vocation, an inner flame that drives men and women to approach every note with intensity and commitment. Behind every melody, every chord, there is a heart full of dreams and an indomitable spirit that never gives up in the face of challenges.

I’m back and do I have great news … another step as been taken towards my dream…

I know it’s been a long time since I have posted here…but rest assured I have been busy. I’ve been learning more about music production and the music business with the help of an online course and various workshops. I’ve been honing my songwriting and production skills and preparing new songs for future performances..

And there is this…

I am so excited to show you my new studio!: ARTEF STUDIO!

This studio will be a hub for music creation and production where musical ideas will come to life for myself and fellow songwriters, singers and musicians .

I am particularly proud to say that I did all the work to build this studio myself with the guidance of a very much appreciated friend.

Here is to the many projects to come!

A new song to share with you

Last summer, I invited you to submit ideas or subjects that could inspire my next composition. The majority of the submissions were about the importance of enjoying life and taking the time to appreciate the beautiful things around us.

So I started from this concept to write this composition: Les plaisirs de la vie (The pleasures of life).

I share it with you here. Let me know what you think! Don't hesitate to share with me other ideas, subjects, themes for my next compositions. I always appreciate your interaction!

Les plaisirs de la vie - copyright 2022
Author, composer - Éric Foisy

Lyrics - Translation :

Life seems complicated to you
But look at it in all its simplicity
It's better to enjoy it every day
Gratitude for friends, loved ones

A child playing at our feet
A good book and meditated silence
Sharing a drink in complicity
Knowing how to give yourself some of life's gifts

Chorus :
Let life move you to dance
And stop resisting
Follow your heart and follow your reason
Make room for your passions
To be amazed every day
In the presence of our earth and it's beauty
It's up to you to make the most of
All the pleasures of life

Day and night, always love without condition
Take a trip and hope for freedom
To see someone again, you haven't seen for a long time
Celebrate that there is nothing planned

Bridge :
Love life and life will love you
Smile a little, joy will find you
Look around, you will see miracles
Freeze in time, before you the essential

I am pleased to announce that my daughter, Katryne, has decided to pursue her studies as a singer in the Pop Music Performance program at Collège Lionel-Groulx, just outside of Montreal.

Katryne, we are always very proud of you! We wish you continued success in your studies and a long and successful career in music. You are moving that much closer to reaching your dreams!

Here is a fitting song I wrote last year - Plus près de tes rêves (Closer to your dreams).

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

In the spirit of Christmas, I'm sharing with you today a recording of the Christmas medley I performed at my December 4th show. It was inspired by a medley that we performed during our Up with People (UWP) tour with substantial modifications. As I often did on that tour, I sing in different languages: English, German and French.

I hope you enjoy this little gift, a sign of my total appreciation for your support over the past year.

I take this opportunity to wish you a merry Christmas and a new year that will live up to your expectations.

Sincerely yours,

Eric

What a pleasure it was to present my Christmas concert at St-Thomas-d'Aquin church last Sunday! I would like to thank the audience for their warm welcome and the organizing committee for inviting me. Thank you to my special guests: the children's choir from École élémentaire catholique Saint-Thomas-d'Aquin and Emma-Rose Smith and Katryne Foisy from Café chantant. It was a memorable evening. Here are some excerpts that were shared with me.

Proud to have travelled and performed with this amazing organization for three years!  Where would you go?

I am very happy to share with you this next song. Indeed, this is my first real musical creation. It was written in 1990, but recorded in my home studio recently. It is still relevant, unfortunately, since it deals with two subjects that are still relevant today: the protection of our beautiful earth and war. In writing this song, I simply wished that we could "Share a tomorrow” together, a literal translation of the title of the song : Partager un lendemain.

This song has already come a long way. Among other things, it was first sung at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa by my friend Suzanne Séguin during the Ontario Pop contest. It was also performed by my gang from the Spectacle Apollo (from École secondaire Sainte-Marie, New Liskeard) whom I would like to salute.

Finally, I would like to thank my great friend and the late Claude Charbonneau, who challenged me to write this song.

In closing, I would like to thank you for your continued encouragement! In all modesty, you are a source of inspiration and I appreciate you very much. Keep writing me comments...I really enjoy reading you. And, please share my posts, if you feel like it, to help me reach even more people.

I wish you a great listening experience and especially a great summer!

As I mentioned in my last post, I am currently writing songs to take advantage of the more relaxed time that summer brings. However, I am looking for themes, titles and ideas to inspire me to create and I thought I would turn to you.

Leave me your ideas and suggestions in the comments or in a message via Messenger. Who knows, my next song might be inspired by your idea!

Thank you for your continued support!

It's time to present you another of my songs. This one was composed during the course I took with Ryan Tedder last summer. It's called "Seize The Day". It's a phrase I believe in a lot. I hope you enjoy this next song. Please feel free to share this post with your friends. It helps me reach even more people.

With summer finally setting in, I'm stepping up my writing. I can't wait to share the fruits of this summer's labor with you.

This summer...be sure to seize the day!

Today, I have chosen to share with you a very relevant recording. As it is Canada Day, I am proud to share with you a special recording of our national anthem that I made with two other colleagues, Daniel Chartrand and Raymond Raby.

You will hear artists from the 1998 version of Spectacle Apollo at École secondaire Ste-Marie (ESSM) in New Liskeard, Ontario. What a great group of students! We wanted to take a modern approach to our national anthem while respecting its official character.

I share it with you today while recognizing the contribution of our fellow citizens who have ensured that we can continue to live in a free and democratic country. Our country is not perfect, but it is a good place to live!

Happy Canada Day to you all!

Hello everyone,

Time for demo #2. Thank you for all of your positive feedback and encouragement with my first demo « Plus près de tes rêves ». Today’s demo is called « Lifetime Paradise ». I wrote this song as an assignment for a course I took last summer.

Last August, I had the opportunity to take a songwriter and producer course with the american Ryan Tedder of One Republic fame. He also wrote and produced songs for Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Ed Sheeran, Jennifer Lopez and many more international artists. This online course was very intense but also very inspiring : the lessons and the assignments, three original produced songs, in 30 days.

This song was my first assignment and as usual, I gave myself a challenge to write in a style that was not typical for me. It was also my first creation in English. I discovered that this is also something I can do…opening my horizons even wider. The song talks about leaving with the person you love to a new place you consider your lifetime paradise. My family’s move to the country on the lake, our personal paradise, was my inspiration.

I hope you enjoy this song. Please feel free to comment. I love reading them. Feel free to share with your friends so that I can expand my reach even further.

By the way, since launching my artist page at the beginning of the month, new projects have been proposed and offered to me. It is so exciting! I look forward to sharing these with you soon.

Take care everyone!

It is always important to follow your dreams, no matter how old you are. Indeed, I am proof that it is never too late to commit to your dreams.

Today, I have the pleasure to share with you my first musical work. I composed this song just recently, last December. My daughter Katryne was the inspiration. She too has a dream that I wish her to reach with all my heart.

Although this song is in French, I hope you will still enjoy it. Please rest assured, I do have some songs in English that I will share in the near future.

My song is called Plus près de tes rêves (Closer to your dreams) and I dedicate it today to all those who have a dream that they want to achieve.

Please note that this is not a published recording. It is still a demo at this moment.

I hope you enjoy!

Those who know me well and for a long time know that music has a special place in my life. It started at a young age when I was already dreaming of making music to entertain and inspire people. Moreover, it made me feel good. Indeed, I would have liked to make a career out of it, but unfortunately, that's not what has happened.

There are different reasons why I didn't make a career out of it, but mainly, I didn't believe it was possible, I didn't believe in myself enough, and my anxiety caused me to sabotage all my efforts. I didn't understand at the time that my anxiety was a real health issue that could and should be treated...at that time it just wasn't talked about.

The reason I share this intimate part of my life with you is that today, I manage my mental health issues the same way I manage my physical health issues...in short, I am not ashamed of them. Today, I feel good about myself and I no longer allow these issues to control my life.

As I get closer and closer to the end of my career as an education administrator, I have decided to gradually return to my first love, music. I am so looking forward to finally realizing my dream of entertaining and helping people with my music.

I am therefore happy to announce that the artist in me has resumed his activities. I am back to writing and learning how to work as a producer. I have set up a home studio that allows me to more easily realize my projects. I am getting closer and closer to the realization of my dream!

I'm launching my artist page today called "My journey, My dream". If you want to follow me and encourage me on my journey, I invite you to like this page.

By following me on my page, you will be able to follow my adventures, my professional learning and especially to hear and see my creations (songs, stage performances, videos...). Indeed, keep an eye on my page as I will soon release a first demo of a song produced in my studio.

I want to thank you in advance for your encouragement. I am so excited to pursue this new adventure!

With friendship. Eric.
