Serge Lacasse (aka Prof. Lacasse) has been a professional producer, arranger, songwriter and musician for many years in the Canadian music industry, including mixing and mastering engineer (see table below). In addition to having accumulated a nice catalogue of instrumental and vocal pieces of music (e.g. for museum exhibitions, advertising, etc.), he has collaborated as producer/songwriter/musician with artists signed to majors and national labels in Canada (Mitsou, Lynda Lemay, Tanya Tagaq, Descars, Héra Ménard, Nathalie Gauthier, Paule-Andrée Cassidy, etc.). He recently produced three albums of piano music by Quebec artist Marc-André Pépin, including Tempus fugit nominated for “Best Instrumental album of the Year” at the 2018 ADISQ Gala. Similarly, Héra Ménard’s eponym album, also produced by Lacasse, was acclaimed as “Discovery of the Year” and nominated in the “Singer-songwriter” category at the Gala Country 2018. 
Prof. Lacasse is a multi-instrumentalist: not only does he play the piano, but he is also an accomplished drummer and guitarist. He has been writing piano music since his early teens but only recently decided to propose it to the world. His first album, entitled Piano Evocations, features 13 intimate pieces exploring a variety of emotions in the post-classical style. Piano Evocations also got great reviews in both specialized magazines (e.g. Fanfare Magazine, November/December 2019) and blogs devoted to the piano. We can also hear Piano Evocations on many classical radio stations around the world. As its title suggests, his second release, the Winter Preludes EP, was inspired by the ambience and surroundings of the Quebec Winter season. His EP Pieces features three of Prof. Lacasse’s most popular pieces (“Lost and Found”, “Moon” and “Debussy”), as well as “Valse dramatique”, a new piano piece. His new album, Music for Piano and Strings, offers five new pieces presented in various arrangements (for a total of 10 tracks). Since 2018, Prof. Lacasse has accumulated over 1,000,000 streams on Spotify alone. As his artist name suggests, Prof. Lacasse is also professor of musicology at the Faculté de musique, Université Laval in Quebec City.
