Irresistibly drawn to music, DJ Uppercut began his career behind the turntables with sets at Montreal clubs when no more than seventeen. The newcomer wasted little time leaving his mark on the city’s finest spots, imposing an original and distinctive house sound from the word go. He quickly climbed the ladder with his characteristic energy, and at the start of the 2000s took up residence at Complexe Millenium while appearing at Montreal’s best-known house clubs, at the same time carving out a place for himself at the celebrated after-hours Red Lite in Laval, where he continues to be a headliner.

Recognized for the punch packed by his captivating rhythms, Uppercut has been invited to be part of a number of large-scale events, including Bal en Blanc at Palais des congrès, Resolution at the Bell Centre and Sensation 2008 in Quebec City. And it didn’t take long for his reputation to cross our borders, his services being called on in the Dominical Republic, Colombia,
