Former special needs educator Jean-Michel Blais doesn't fit neatly anywhere — and that's exactly what makes him extraordinary. His compositions are emotional and moving journeys that unfold with care.

Since his debut album Il, Blais has turned heads worldwide, and the work has never stopped. He has previously composed music for Netflix and Louis Vuitton,  performed at venues like the Montreux Jazz Festival and London’s Southbank Centre, and scored the soundtrack for Cannes film Matthias & Maxime.

Blais' latest album Désert spent 25 weeks on the Classical USA Billboard charts and earned a JUNO nomination for Instrumental Album of the Year.
