Vincent Cordel

Who, what, wheres Vincent is left-handed, near-sighted and has two very left feet, but he makes up for all that in the kitchen. Plugged into his keyboard wherever he goes, this Frenchman moonlights as a Canadian, wandering the world and throwing down roots wherever the mood strikes. ABCs As the son of two math teachers, Vincent's school marks always left his parents wondering whether there'd been a mix-up in the maternity ward.

ABCs

As the son of two math teachers, Vincent's school marks always left his parents wondering whether there'd been a mix-up in the maternity ward.

But what he lacked in arithmetic skills he made up in music chops, graduating from the Paris Conservatory VIII and the Berklee School of Music with Magna Cum Laude in arranging and production.

Do, Re, Mis

Specializing in music for the moving image, Vincent has collaborated on over 200 titles for TV programs (like The Oprah Show), commercials and movie trailers. He was arranger/keyboardist for the Cirque du Soleil and Cavalia the mega-show, and he collaborated on soundtracks with film composer Michel Cusson.

Whenever he gets the chance, Vincent takes his fingers out of the studio and sets them free on stage, most recently touring with the Vincent Black Shadow.

Vincent's academic background made him a highly-regarded accompanist for Berklee's vocal department, while his creative side is unleashed composing original albums such as Music Seeds.

For this composer/pianist/accompanist, music is life and he has his finger on the pulse.
