Collaborating artist

Born from a french Canadian mother and a Palestinian father and raised in Lachute, Qc, Guillaume Jabbour fronts original music band Jabbour and is involved in other musical projects as a professional performing and studio musician. Guillaume has also incorporated the art of interviewing people into his artistic practice, which has led to creating podcasts that intertwine stories, music, audio captures of real sounds and sonic effects. As an Art Educator, he is interested in using tech in the classroom to create sonic art. Guillaume lives with his wife and two children in Gore, Qc, where he can often be seen with a handheld recorder waiting for the perfect moment to capture the lonely call of the loon.
