Montreal is the second largest metropolis in Canada, a multi cultural heaven brimming with talent. Its rich and vibrant heritage has yielded many high caliber artists. Once such artist, Patrick Guay was born to a proud, working class French Canadian family. As is natural in Quebec, music and dance were part of life and Patrick excelled at both at a young age. Focused and hardworking, at 19 he joined a professional dance troupe. It was the early nineties-the heyday of the Montreal dance scene. Over the top décor and shows worthy of Broadway were the norm. Award winning producer Jean-Pierre Pérusse noticed Patrick’s talents and appointed him as choreographer for the BBCM dancers- a task Patrick took to with enthusiasm and dedication. His innovative and exciting shows wowed thousands at the Olympic Stadium for the Black & Blue Party, and other events produced by the BBCM. It was only natural for multi talented Patrick to segway in to DJ’ing in 2002. He was fueled by the desire to become independent and take complete artistic control over the music that accompanied his shows. It did not take long before he mastered the craft of mixing, but he took his time and entered the dance club scene cautiously, preferring to absolutely perfect his style before coming out officially as a DJ. He quickly started to gain recognition and a growing following and was next awarded a coveted monthly residency at Parking Nightclub and at Stereo Afterhours. Due to his ability to bring the crowd up to the right level of excitement, he's been the opening act for many major DJs and played repeated gigs in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Provincetown. Patrick’s musical style is versatile. Unique and attractive, he thrives on performing and focusing his energy on the crowd. With discipline and passion, he unleashes his creativity and produces an unforgettable atmosphere on the dance floor
