About

The artist

Eric St-Laurent is a guitarist, composer, and producer born in Montreal and based in Toronto. After studying improvisation in New York, he spent a decade working in Berlin before relocating to Toronto and developing a catalog shaped by jazz, blues, country, electronic composition, and global music traditions. His artist-controlled discography includes projects such as Hyperborea Volume 1, Seq, Dir, Gontran, Graf Grack - Volume 1, Darn, That Band!, and El Choclo. In April 2026, St-Laurent released Science-Fiction Cumbia Volume 1: Arizona, a seven-track album that brings together cumbia, chicha, Afro-Cuban rhythm, jazz standards, and a playful science-fiction frame. The current recording credits Calvin Beale on electric bass, Irene Torres on vocals and keyboards, Chendy León on vocals and percussion, Luisito Orbegoso on vocals, percussion, and trombone, and St-Laurent on guitar. The official website links the same Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and social identities, while the artist-controlled Bandcamp page independently places the project in Toronto, Ontario, and documents 16 releases. Current Toronto performance listings and recent local coverage also describe his active place in the city's jazz and Latin-music communities. English and French copy and translation provenance were reviewed, the public inquiry route links to the artist-controlled Bandcamp page, Spotify media is provider-attributed, and no private contact information is reproduced.
