PEACE From FRANCE with a world heart.

Tak Jovendrake(formerly known as Tak: The Axe Kid) - that would be moi - is a Japanese fellow who acquired the skills in rock and metal guitar playing during his full-time residency in Canada. He was the founder of a three-piece rock band Fusillade which, after his departure, changed their name to Liquid(Liquid would later spawn members of a now-defunct Canadian rock band Templar, as well as Carly Rae Jespin's touring musician). Tak has since primarily been a solo artist focusing on instrumental rock/metal for the most part, and has expanded his horizons to explore and incorporate many many other styles of music, such as jazz, electronica, world music, and classical, into his own. 

Tak Jovendrake is, thus, a progressive musician. Though his music often tends to lean toward the metal realm, his sound is not exclusively progressive rock, nor is it strictly progressive metal. It goes all over the map. His more recent project back in Canada with a Vancouver-based composer/guitarist Brendan Blanchard, called Voltophonix, is a prime example of how diverse his playing can be. With Voltophonix, he has shown a different side of his musical talent, one that features a laid-back melodic instrumental folk rock that also involves his acoustic guitar work.

Since the summer of 2018, he has also begun taking on the roles of sound engineer and producer working with a number of musicians in Finland and beyond. He is also in the process of creating an online platform/portal called Sonified Souls Association for Creators of Music featuring musicians and sound engineers of various styles and genres.

Part metalhead, part jazz cat, part classical enthusiast, part bluesman, part folk fellow, part singer, part electronica lover, part exotic musician, part avant garde madman, mostly rocker, always an artist.
