Passionate about music, Uppercut kicked off his journey behind the turntables at a groovy age of 17, laying down his unique house vibes that became the talk of the town in Montreal's buzzing nightlife.

Fuelled by his infectious energy and spellbinding beats, UPPERCUT swiftly climbed the ranks. In the early 2000s, he set up shop at MP3, part of the Millennium Complex, while spinning his magic in the coolest Montreal house joints. He also snagged a spot at the Red Lite Afterhours in Laval, where he performed as the headliner and continued to perfect his craft. UPPERCUT keeps the crowd grooving with every appearance at the exclusive Karma and La Folie, not forgetting his killer opening set for Roger Sanchez at Terrasses Bonsecours.

Endowed with a keen musical instinct and event production talent, UPPERCUT established himself as a resident DJ and general manager at the esteemed Circus in 2013 for more than a decade.
